Uninstalled Firefox still here

  • 772

I purged firefox(*) and deleted /etc/firefox and /usr/lib/firefox, the whole .cache thing and so on as already mentioned in Removing Firefox in Ubuntu with all add-ons like it never existed

After all, I still find "Firefox Web Browser" in All Application and even firefox --version shows me (even after reboot)

Mozilla Firefox 72.0.1.

The command type firefox says

firefox is /snap/bin/firefox

What should I do to completely get rid of it?

firefox delete purge snap 19.10

    The page Removing Firefox in Ubuntu with all add-ons like it never existed addresses Firefox installed using APT but in your case, it has been installed as a snap.

    This can be checked using the command type firefox. If you get an output like /snap/bin/firefox, Firefox is installed using snap on your machine.

    To uninstall Firefox which has been installed using snap, use the command:

    sudo snap remove firefox
