Is it possible that firefox tried to update it'self and got confused in the
process? Eg: It did a remove than an install and the install aborted.

Not yet. But I only reinstalled Firefox a couple of hours ago. It took 11

I checked the Symantec logs and found nothing.

No, we've used Symantec Endpoint Protection since last June. What was
bizarre is that Firefox wasn't listed in the Add/Remove programs
dialog.

Have you re-installed it? If so, does the problem recur?

Jeff,
I have seen similar things with anti-virus shutting down an
application.
I plugged into a clients network and their anti-virus took a dislike
to
some
of the network tools I had on my laptop.
Even stripped them out of a USB drive I used on a different occasion.
Have you had a change or update to your system security?

Subject: [PCTECH] Windows program disappeared

All,

Had a bizarre one.

W2003 Server, virtual, in a terminal services environment. Overnight
Firefox disappeared. Users shortcuts quit working, firefox.exe does
not
exist on that server, and Firefox does not show up in add/remove
programs.
It's as if someone uninstalled it.

I reinstalled and everyone's settings are intact. Homepage,
bookmarks,
etc. Windows event viewers don't show anything.

Anyone seen anything like this? Is there someplace it's logged if a
program
is uninstalled?

Thanks.
