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).
