How can i remove firefox completely on osx?

I had some trouble with add-ons so I wanted to completely remove Firefox and start with a freshly downloaded version. So I manually deleted the files as described on this page: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox#Removing_user_profile_data
But after installing a new version of Firefox it won't start and it keeps telling me my profile is missing.

When your removing Firefox from Application, it won't remove Firefox Profile
Remove Firefox Profile in Two ways
*Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information
**Application Basics > Profile Folder > Show in Finder
Before deleting your profile QUIT your firefox and Remove it
*Finder > Current User > Library > Application Support > Firefox > Profile
Remove it and Remove the firefox from application.
Download the Firefox from www.mozilla.org

  • How can i remove firefox from my dock

    i need help to remove firefox from my dock

    Just drag it off.... the icon is just an alias (link) to the real application.
    There is a "How to Use OS X" Missing Manual ebook that would answer this but also 100s more so you can use and get more out of using the system.

  • I installed 4.0.1, and now it keeps asking me to reboot, and it hijacks all links and will not allow me to remove it, despite rebooting many times.. How can I remove Firefox?

    What more can I say - Firefox 4.0.1 is preventing me from doing my work and preventing me from removing it via the Windows control panel.

    Do a clean (re-)install:
    * Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
    * Firefox 4.0: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
    * Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
    * It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    * http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere (not in the Firefox program folder) and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • How can I Remove Firefox Hello in a high-security environment?

    Hi,
    After a recent Firefox update in a test environment for a high-security environment (I'm not at liberty to disclose the nature of this environment, sorry. Let's just say we have to disable Firefox from contacting Mozilla's servers and further disable Google's "Safe Browsing" due to possibility of inadvertent unauthorized disclosure) We have noticed a feature: "Firefox Hello", this feature causes Firefox to violate strict policy as it transforms it from being classified as strictly a "Web Browser" (which is permitted) to a "Chat Application", all of which are completely banned. Simply disabling Hello is not a sufficient option as Firefox still contains the code to run Hello, which still constitutes it a "Chat Application" as per policy. We have the capability to edit out unauthorized code from open source software internally, but we don't know where to start to remove this code from the Firefox codebase as Hello seems pretty well integrated.
    Currently I only have two options, both of which do not please me as for me personally, (I really like Firefox and have fought to include it in any environment I can):
    1. Discontinue permanent use of Firefox.
    2. Discontinue updating Firefox permanently or until Hello is removed as a non-modular element. This is unacceptable as it'd mean we can't keep it secure, which causes us to fall back to (1).
    I would graciously like any third option. Internet Explorer seems to be the only browser that provides sufficient enterprise-level control without extraneous features at the moment with the addition of Hello to Firefox. We have banned Chrome from our environment due to how tightly bound it is with Google's "Cloud" services and hope that Firefox isn't becoming a "Cloud" browser for Mozilla, Sync has already placed Firefox under the microscope as it is.
    Thank you.

    We have WebRTC traffic blocked (We have a setup that audits SSL traffic before it leaves or enters the network).
    Our primary issue with Hello is that policy classifies the actual code used to run it as being very much like an Easter Egg, code that was inserted that goes beyond the spec of being a web browser and thus difficult to audit. It's easy to block services in general, but when an a single unauthorized service becomes a core feature and has code strapped to the browser, that throws up red flags that Mozilla is moving Firefox away from being a organization-managable browser and more toward an exclusively mozilla-managed "Cloud" browser, where there is a possibility that Mozilla will seek more control over user experience that will increase attack surface.
    It's reasons like this we decline to install Chrome into our environment, because Google has several services built-in to the core of their browser and do not leverage their extensions capabilities, but rather mandates that these features "must be installed" and that users can only toggle them off.
    It's easy to uninstall an extension or to recompile with a flag, but it's hard when a vendor makes decisions for you and tells you "This is good for you, you must embrace it" irrespective of policy of organizations or even individual users wishes.
    Thank you all for this information, it will help our future audits and help determine if Firefox is right for our needs.
    Unfortunately I can't mark this thread as "Solved" since the root issue is still not solved (Mozilla's development practices making something that should be an extension, a core aspect of the browser), so marking it solved would be a lie. But thank you both nonetheless.

  • How can I remove Firefox 4.0 from my computer?

    I recently attempted to install Firefox 4.0, but I have been unable to complete the installation.
    Every time I have tried to use 4.0, I have gotten a message that tells me to restart my computer to complete installation. However, after I've restarted the computer numerous times, the installation remains incomplete. Instead of the usual Firefox icon, there is an icon of an open box and a disc.
    After many attempts to complete the installation of 4.0, I tried to uninstall it. However, the computer refused to uninstall it, because the program never finished installing in the first place. I got the usual message to restart the computer, which accomplished nothing.
    I then tried to use System Restore to restore the previous version of Firefox, but the computer could not complete the restoration, because 4.0 has not finished installing. After using System Restore, Firefox 3.6.15 is now listed in the Programs list, but I still cannot uninstall it. I still get the "restart computer" message.
    Currently, I'm still seeing the box/disc icon, but now when I click it, it does nothing at all.
    Is there no way to rid my computer of the awful scourge that is Firefox 4.0?

    <br /> Don't know about Windoze, but on the Mac that is not a problem at all.

    <br /> The install path for ACR in Photoshop 7 and 8 is entirely different from the above. So you can have all four iterations of ACR installed, one for each version of Photoshop.
    <br />
    <br /> I keep Photoshop 7.0.1, 8, 9.0.2 and 10 installed. I can even run more than one version of Photoshop at once, I just have to start the older version first.

  • In the upper right hand corner, I continually receive gray pop up boxes asking to accpt/deny websites. How can I remove these completely?

    In the upper right hand corner of desktop I continually receive gray boxes with text asking me to accept/deny access to website access. "Do you want to allow connection to www.habbopromor7.blogspot.com". How do I get these removed permanently?

    Sounds that you have security software that doesn't trust Firefox and blocks internet access by default, so you need to check that out and make sure that Firefox gets full and unrestricted access to internet.

  • How can I remove Firefox as my default browser?

    I do not want Firefox as my default browser at this time. Please advise how I can release Firefox from being my default browser.

    So if there is a link in some other application, what do you want to happen when you click it?
    The default browser settings are stored in the Windows Registry. In Windows XP there was a handy dialog to change the application responsible for handling URLs, but I haven't found it in Windows 7. If you find directions for editing the settings in Vista or Windows 7, then you could try blanking out the settings for how to handle URLs. It's always a good idea to make a backup before tweaking registry settings manually.

  • How can I remove Firefox from my desk top (Safari is my main browser) I have a iMac & since I added Firefox, everything is messed up.

    history is sporadic
    many files will not open
    tells me server can't be found
    one message HTTP status code 13030
    help!
    everything was fine with just Safari
    (no offense, Firefox is what I use on work computer)

    If it's slow on startup it would be extensions loading or LaunchDaemons starting up. 
    You should have a look in:
    /Library/LaunchDaemons
    /Library/Extensions
    You can count out anything in your home folder and it shouldn't put anything in /System as that's reserved for Apple.

  • How do you remove Firefox from computer, will not delete from "Add/delete hardware"

    Have tried to remove firefox from computer. Tried "add/remove harware, programs" from control panel, won't do anything keeps popping back up. Several months ago firefox crashed and computer would not let me log on to the internet. Went back to internet explorer works great. But now I can't seem to get rid of firefox from my computer. My internet carrier (cox.net) say that firefox is not compatible with their internet system. How can I remove firefox from control panel, is taking up space in my computer?

    Try Programs or Programs and Features, Firefox is software not hardware.
    Look in there for Mozilla Firefox not Firefox.
