How to delete my Firefox?

How do I uninstall my Firefox? Would dragging the firefox app from the Finder folder uninstall it?

MacBook (white), Mac OS X (10.5.8)

Hi shroudlupe,

Your Firefox data is stored in your library folder on the user level.

/Users/Username/Library/Application Support/Firefox/Profiles/xxxxxxxx.default/

If you delete the Firefox folder within Application Support, that should purge all of your settings from within Firefox. That in addition to reinstalling the application should resolve any issues you're having with Firefox, unless the issue is not with the application. But then you've at least isolated it.

If you trashed Firefox, emptied trash and re-installed, you would still have all your preferences because those are located in the path both of us directed you to.

When you have Finder open, you should have 3 categoried in the left/blue area.
1. Devices
2. Places
3. Search For

In Category #2 your user folder should have a little "house" next to it. Click on it.
Now you will have a new list in the 2nd(non-blue) column. Click on Library.
(By the way, when someone sends info like both of us have, it is referring to this path that I am explaining to you.)
Now find Preferences. Click on it.
Now find com.apple.firefox.plist

That is what you need to delete or even just put it on your desktop for temporary keeping.

The other poster gave you similar advice, and it involves the same principle to find it. FOLLOW THE PATH.
