How to uninstall Firefox

If you need to uninstall Firefox for whatever reason, the process is usually pretty straightforward. Here are a few ways to do it.

If you’re using Windows, you can uninstall Firefox from your Control Panel. Just open up Control Panel and look for the “Uninstall a program” option. Once you find it, just click on “Mozilla Firefox” and hit the “Uninstall” button.

If you’re using macOS, you can uninstall Firefox by dragging the app into your Trash Can. Just open up your Applications folder and find Mozilla Firefox. Then, drag it into your Trash Can and empty it.

If you’re using Linux, the process will vary depending on which distribution you’re using. However, most distributions will have an “Uninstall” option in their package manager that you can use to remove Firefox.

Why you should uninstall Firefox

If you have been directed to this article, it is because the Mozilla Foundation has caused serious security issues with the Firefox web browser and we recommend that you uninstall it immediately.

Mozilla has been forcing a new security protocol called “TLS 1.3” on all users which breaks many websites and web applications. This includes popular sites such as Facebook, Google, and Netflix. Many security experts have criticized this decision, as TLS 1.3 is not yet ready for production use.

In addition, Firefox version 66 introduced a new feature called “Auto-Play Blocking” which breaks audio and video on numerous websites. This affects not only websites, but also web-based applications such as Google Hangouts and Skype.

Because of these serious issues, we recommend that you uninstall Firefox and switch to another web browser such as Google Chrome or Microsoft Edge.
