Problems with installation apps after manual deleting of firefox

[ModX]

I wanted to have Firefox 17 instead Aurora 19.
And I deleted all firefox folders manually.
:lolflag:

Now I have a problem with installation any apps.
Ubuntu Software Center need to repair, but the repair has been ended with error:

The installation or removal of a software package failed.

Please, advise how I can solve this problem?

sudo dpkg --configure -a

[ModX]

The result of: sudo dpkg --configure -a


dpkg: dependency problems prevent configuration of firefox-globalmenu:

I think, needs to delete dependency of dpkg and firefox...

I tried to delete
/var/cache/apt/archives/firefox_19.0~a2~hg20130107r119234-0ubuntu1~umd1~precise_i386.deb
but it didn't help
This package downloads again.

the problem of a broken package still exist the solution is to edit the dpkg status file manually.

1. $ sudo gedit /var/lib/dpkg/status (you can use vi or nano instead of gedit)
2. Locate the corrupt package, and remove the whole block of information about it and save the file.
