Removing firefox

[brucey034]

Hi,
Is there anyway to completely remove firefox from my system ??

 

[swinnie]

Uninstall it using Add and Remove programs then use Ccleaner to delete old registry entires etc...

 

[brucey034]

Thanks for the quick reply.
I did that and deleted all i could in the registry after a ccleaner run.
I then reistalled firefox and all my settings and bookmarks were all there ??
It seems to be very deeply buried.

Hmmm, maybe delete the firefox folder in the Program Files folder, then doing a Ccleaner thing.

not sure how save this is.

 

[brucey034]

sorry, forgot to mention, i removed the firefox folder in program files.
Im using vista x64.

Remove all assocaited reg entries in regedit? Again not sure if this is safe, but I assume it is....get some confirmation!!

It's not so deeply buried, and has nothing to do with the registry - your profile data is stored at %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\.

 

[brucey034]

Thanks Tolien will give that a go.

 

[brucey034]

Sorry,call me thick but is %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\. in program files ?.
How to i locate it ?
sorry for the noobness.

 

[swinnie]

Run and type %APPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\
