Completely removing FireFox/?

slipd · 14 Feb 2008 at 20:57

Hey guys,

How do I completely remove FireFox from my system? I’ve got a problem, possibly either with Java or Flash within the browser… It basically crashes each time I visit a certain site. I know it’s not the site because it views fine on different browsers and machines I’ve tried etc

I’ve tried uninstalling it but when I re-install it my custom theme and bookmarks are still present along with my pre-filled form info etc?

I want to do a fresh install that will require me to reload my favourites/plugins and themes. Anyone know if this possible without re-installing Windows?

Cheers,

SW.

You need to delete your profile data, located in your App Data folder: %AppData%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

open explorer, type

%appdata%\mozilla

in the address bar. delete the 'firefox' folder within.

I just fixed my brother's Thinkpad,it was crashing at java sites with firefox etc...turns out it was the Thinkpad Password Manager ,so if you have a Thinkpad you know where to look.
