How to Uninstall Firefox

Firefox is a web browser than has been enjoying relatively high popularity, with some fluctuations over time. As of late 2020, Chrome was still the most widely used browser, trailed by Mac's Safari browser. The third place was essentially shared between Microsoft's Edge and Mozilla's Firefox.

The browser wars are a curious thing to observe from a distance, but it is not our place to take a stance and weigh in on any browsing platform. In the end of the day, which browser the majority of home users turn to has a lot more to do with familiarity and personal preference than any specific feature set that any browser has.

If you are contemplating a switch to a new browser or just like to keep a single browser on your computer and are moving away from Firefox, this article will provide you with a brief and easy tutorial on how to uninstall Firefox from your system.

If you are uninstalling Firefox from a Windows 10 PC, do the following:

  1. Open your start menu and click the gear-shaped Settings icon.
  2. In the new window that comes up, click on the Apps icon.
  3. Find Firefox in the list of installed applications and click on it.
  4. Click the “Uninstall” button that shows up.
  5. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the uninstall process.

If you need to remove all leftover files, open your start menu and type in "%appdata%" without the quotation marks, then hit Enter. In the new window that comes up, double click the Mozilla folder, then find and delete the Firefox folder inside it.

If you are uninstalling Firefox from a Mac computer, do the following:

  1. Make sure Firefox is closed.
  2. Navigate to your Applications folder, using Finder or the system dock.
  3. Drag and drop the Firefox app icon onto your Trash.
  4. Empty your Trash to finish the uninstall process.

This will take care of uninstalling Firefox from your computer, whether you use Windows or iOS.
