Mozilla Firefox doesn't install automatically without your consent. If anyone else uses the computer or has access to it, then they might have installed it.

You could have another virus. Do you have any anti-virus software installed?

nope I don't have those
You might want to download one just in case. I use Ad-Aware and Spybot Search & Destroy. These programs will scan your computer for any ad-ware or spy-ware that might of become *****ed (e-m-b-e-d-e-d) into your computer.

Did you install any programs recently? It's possible that a program installed Mozilla Firefox onto your computer.

Do you have multiple personalities? If so, one of them may have better taste in browsers than you.

Try to find out when it was installed, time, date etc. Then try to find if anything else was running at the same time.

Goto run > search, on the left there are options for example "when was it modified?" See if that helps....................or rings a bell ;)

There's currently no fix or solution to that problem. Try downgrading to the earlier version of Adaware and see if that works. Either that, or try Spybot Search & Destroy.

Just remove Mozilla Firefox from your "Add or Remove Programs".
