What happens when you uninstall Firefox

When you uninstall Firefox from your computer via Control Panel, the browser is removed from the system. During the uninstallation, the main file is completely deleted, but other components, such as your user profile, remain on the system and need to be removed as well. Also, other contents of the browser cannot be completely deleted by ordinary uninstallation.

1. Once you uninstall Firefox via Control Panel, all files are removed. In some cases, entries in system configuration files are also reset. The previously occupied memory is then freed for new content.
2. About special programs, such as the CCleaner, it is possible to find all files that also belong to Firefox and should be deleted. For this, you just need to download and launch the tool. You can then select which contents should be deleted.
3. Files that are not deleted by the uninstallation are usually located in the file paths "C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\" or "C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox".
4. Make sure that your user profile with your saved bookmarks, passwords and the like is not deleted. This is located in a separate folder on your computer.
