Removing Firefox
« on: May 25, 2009, 04:04:28 pm »
Hey all-

So as some of you know, my Firefox has been acting up anytime I watch Flash videos, because the Flash video will resize to something about 100x100 and then back to its original size, and continuously do that. I tested in IE7 and this doesn't happen there, so I've determined it's probably one of the many issues that my Firefox install is having. I tried uninstalling but for some reason it didn't delete ALL of my Firefox data.. So is there anything I can do to remove every scrap of Firefox on my computer?

Delete ~/.firefox or wherever it stores your profile data as well!

I'd bet that you're currently bloated like a water ballon on a hot summer's day.

That analogy doesn't even make sense.  Why would a water balloon be especially bloated on a hot summer's day? For your sake, I hope there wasn't too much logic testing on your LSAT.

on Linux, it's /home/you/.mozilla/firefox, and on Windows it's c:\documents and settings\you\application data\mozilla (or maybe firefox) iirc.

Sweet. I'll keep that in mind. Do either of you two know whether or not registry data is removed as well? When I say every scrap, I do mean I want a 100% clean install.

I'm not sure if Firefox uses the registry for anything -- if it does, it's probably removed when you uninstall it.

well that didn't work. Leaving me to believe that it's either an issue with youtube, or my computer, because I just fresh installed Firefox..

Anybody else experience what I pointed out? It happens predominately on youtube videos.. btu a couple other website shvae the same thing happen occasionally.

Did you re-install Flash, as well?

Yes, but I don't know how to completely reinstall Flash, so that may have been a problem. I think I might have to ask Adobe.. egh.
