firefox not responding?

[Kurdman]

I have NO FIREFOX INSTALLED! but it keeps showing an error saying firefox not responding! how on earth is it possible to see an error every then minutes from something that is not installed on my laptop?! how to fix it?

Obviously some program on your machine thinks Firefox is your default browser and is trying to start it. And of course it will not respond if it is not there. Have you ever had it installed? If so your uninstall has not completed properly. You may need to reinstall and then uninstall correctly afterwards. You could try a registry clean using ccleaner.exe from http://piriform.com.
Alternatively you may have malware which is continuously trying to open Firefox, so you should first do a malware scan.

install firefox properly and remove it properly .it happens some times .if not go to c>program files>firefox.delete the entire folder .all your problems will be solved .use ccleaner for cache and unwanted /unused files .

install firefox & uninstall from control panel , then check your junk registry & files by 'system mechanic' or 'tuneup utilities'........your problem will be solved
