Reinstalling the latest version of Firefox

more options

I tried to open Firefox and a message appeared: "Couldn't load XPCOM". I uninstalled the program with Revo Uninstaller Pro and downloaded the latest version. I selected Run as Administrator but there is a message that says "Windows cannot have access to the selected device, path or file. Maybe you don't have access rights". However, I do have access rights. I have checked it multiple times. How can I install Firefox and see it work properly? Thanks

Never use 3rd party Uninstaller Firefox already has its own uninstaller. That program most likely messed the uninstall and now you need to remove the Firefox folder to reinstall Firefox again.
