Uninstalling Firefox?

CynicX · 02-11-2006, 06:52 AM

Does anyone know how to COMPLETELY uninstall Firefox?...Lately its been giving me some trouble playing videos and such. So I figured I would just remove it and install a fresh copy.

Well I went to add/remove programs and removed Mozilla Firefox. Then I went to the Firefox folder and deleted it, since it was still there for some reason. Then I reinstalled it, but all my old settings were still there.

My old themes were still there, my tabs were still there, my extensions were still there etc etc.

So I dunno how fresh of an install it is but I know its not complete.

Question is how do I completely wipe it from my computer so I can start from scratch?

Thanks!

I had the same problem and was never able to get to go away completely.

Isn't it ironic that one of the things that the FF zealots complain about IE is the inability to uninstall it easily? Yet FF lingers like a bad cold... hahahhahahha

Well I figured it out, it wasnt to rough.

Just add/remove Firefox. Delete the firefox directory. Then go under Documents and Settings/application data/ and delete Mozilla. Then download regclean and delete everything that has anything to do with Mozilla....

I was going to suggest to check the "Documents and Settings/application data/" folder. You figured it out though.
