Re: [opensuse] Can not update/remove Firefox



Valentin Sawadski a écrit :

It seems that firefox is working right now, however I would still like
to fix this issue.

I didn't really understood how you got *two* firefox.

*I* usually have two, one installed with YaST and the other by hand, simply un-archived in my own ~/Document folder.

to remove the latter, I just have to remove the ~/Document/firefox folder

If, for any reason, you can't remove the first one with YaST, nor "rpm -e", I would go to YaST, search for firefox and look at the file list (or get it with rpm). With in hand this file list and as root, remove any file, don't forget to rename (better not remove) any ".mozilla.." file, then try rebuild the rpm database (something like "rpm --rebuild", look at the man page)

hope this could make rid of the firefox :-)
