uninstalling firefox

talkshowhost · 20 Feb 2006 at 22:12

hi all.

think this is the correct place for this.

Basically i want to unistall firefox completely and get rid of all traces. I have tried just a basic uninstall and then deleted any remains from program files and using a registry scanner but when i re-install my favourites are still there as well as the history, cookies etc.

can anyone help me get rid of the whole lot so when i reinstall i have to import favourites etc. again. I just want to do a completely clean install of firefox.

hope this kinda make sense and thanks in advance for any help.

regards.

thanks for the help although i just tried that and the history, cache and everything was still there when i reinstalled. also tried searching all hidden files etc. for firefox and deletedthem all but no luck.

this data must be kept elsewhere although i have no idea where it could be?

this is a fresh install of windows from only a couple of weeks ago and i installd firefox 1.5.0.1 so unfortunately it can't be that.

this is really bugging me as it must be kept somewhere! maybe firefox is here to stay regardless

again thanks for the help guys hope i can get this sorted.

Deathwish - many thanks that seemed to do the trick and all was gone when i reinstalled.

Strange cos im sure i was deleting everything when i was removing it before but clearly not!

whoop - i think you should try a clean install of firefox (as above) as i too have had the problem before of it deleting bookmarks etc on its on own accord.

Thanks for all the help guys - it is much appreciated.
