Can't Uninstall Firefox
I'm trying to get rid of Firefox on my computer. There is a Firefox directory in /usr/lib64/firefox-24.1.0 I try to delete it but I don't have permissions.

If you want to remove a program, use your distros package manager to remove it. You will need the root password to remove the program.
What distro are you running? Deleting the directory /usr/lib64/firefox-24.1.0 may not remove the entire program. Linux programs have parts installed in many different directories. |

The command 'removepkg' will remove it.
You need to look in /var/log/packages/ to find the exact package name. The command 'ls -l /var/log/packages | grep firefox' will list the exact name. Then 'removepkg firefoxexactpackagename' will remove it. |
