Do you mean the folder in "C: Programs"?... Done at the first time... Also deleted all the visible registry traces of Firefox.

Your profile is in a different location.
C:\Documents and Settings\UserName\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles

Get ride of the lot and start from scratch, so uninstall, boot, delete everything from and including the Mozilla folder (it has a registry.dat file in there) in the above path. This will however mean your tweaks, settings, user prefs and extension info will be gone.

Thanks DavidR but In the first uninstall I've completely deleted all the traces (also these). Now the Firefox windows appears with blank background. The bars seems to be right but freezed. The strange thing is that the process is running. Plus, is possible to close the Firefox interface but the process firefox.exe remains active in the background and I must use the taskbar to kill it.

Hi Kamulko,

This sounds strange, scan with regedit, that you rename to _root_regedit.exe. This add-on you installed, must be some nastiness. Did you scan it thoroughly, did you analyze it with FileAlyzer? But acyually I can't think you have done something wrong. It is just hard luck.

Greetings,
