I want to remove firefox completely in my fedora 17 as its having some issues after upgrading from firefox 12 to firefox 22.
I already have tried yum remove firefox
and yum install firefox
but it is not solving issues.
The issues are right click menu is not working in the browser. "Firebug" is not working.
How can i remove all physical backup files or firefox related files in fedora 17
Please help.
Performing a clean uninstallation of Mozilla Firefox removes your bookmarks permanently. Before uninstalling, however, use the Firefox Import/Export wizard to export your bookmarks to an HTML (HyperText Markup Language) file so that you can import them after reinstalling Firefox.
In the Start Menu, click Control Panel. In the Control Panel window, click the Uninstall a program link under the Programs section. From the list of currently installed programs, select Mozilla Firefox. To begin the uninstall, click the Uninstall button at the top of the list.
Open the "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software" key and locate the "Mozilla" key. Select it, press "Delete" and then click "Yes" to confirm and delete the Firefox keys from the Registry.
Removing the package via the software manager as you did is all there is. You can check the files inside the package if you feel like, but there is no additional magic outside that file list. BUT: in addition you must remove your personal settings, otherwise those 'survive' the replacement of the package. Look for a hidden folder in your home directory: .firefox
or .mozilla
(note the leading dot).
