uninstall firefox


i want to uninstall firefox from my system (slackware 12) because i want to downgrade to an older version, but i could not find a package to be removed in pkgtool, and i couldn't find an uninstall script. Is there a way for me to uninstall?

rm -rf /usr/lib/firefox*

Odd that you don't have a package mainfest file tho...

Wait.. Might be:

rm -rf /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox*

Look in /usr/lib to make sure. The package is consolodated in that one directory last I checked. Not on a slack box at the moment.
