Ok so i downloaded fire fox last night, and this morning my parents try to use the computer and it says mcafee has been uninstalled or something like that. I then go, and right click on it, go to security center, and type in a password. It works now, but was this caused by fire fox? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You know the drill:

Q: "Son, did you do something to the computer which caused it to not work anymore?"

A: "No."
You should be more like Cantrip.

I've installed Firefox hundreds of times on a huge variety of computers, I have never seen it do anything like you describe.

thats your problem right there. the home user versions of both mcaffe, and norton both suck. i'd recommend a corporate copy if you have the ability.
