The Firefox installer is based on NSIS, which is quite tricky when it 
comes to waiting for the end of the remove procedure.

It has help to add a small delay as the last remove command with:
<remove cmd="%ComSpec% /C ping -n 11 localhost >nul"/>
This will wait for about ten seconds and allows the remove process to 
end before its success is checked.
