5. The Uninstall Web Browser Wizard starts. If this does not happen, you will have to open it yourself by going to the path C: \\ Program Files \\ Mozilla Firefox \\ uninstall \\ helper.exe or C: \\ Program Files (x86) \\ Mozilla Firefox \\ uninstall \\ helper.exe.



6. You will then receive a notification that the browser will be removed from a specific folder. Confirm this action and proceed further while waiting for the cleaning to complete.
