[MOVED] Is Firefox seen as Aurora?

I am not sure if this question should be put on the Tutorials or help & installation. But here goes.

Some time ago, I decided to uninstall Firefox because it was not compatible on bank site and Chrome as my default browser. When I reinstalled Firefox to check if it had been updated, I notice that it cannot get it's original icon back, and it's the Aurora icon that keeps coming up. I also have to start Firefox from the command line.

Can anyone tell me what is going on?

Hi,

open Synaptic and right click FF for complete removal then look in your home folder and press Ctrl + h to show hidden files and delete the .mozilla folder, then re-install FF again, make a copy of your bookmarks before you do if you have any!.

Firefox > Bookmarks > Import & Backup > Backup > choose location for backup file.

You might have to be "root" to delete the " .mozilla " folder.
Press "Ctrl + Alt + t" and type:

Code:

gksudo nautilus

to make yourself root if necessary.

Hi Wolfman, I removed firefox from the terminal with

sudo apt-get remove firefox

I then removed .Mozilla
Restart

installed firefox from terminal

apt-get install firefox

I still do not get the firefox icon. I still do not have a firefox icon. Aurora's interface looks very much like firefox if not one and same. One I run the firefox command from the terminal, I still get Aurora opening.

Strange goings on....

I first tried to remove Aurora from the terminal.

sudo apt-get remove aurora

Yet, Aurora is still there. When I check "about Aurora". Lo and behold, Aurora IS tied in with Firefox Arora version 24.

Hi,

did you download it from somewhere?, it wouldn't show up normally unless you pulled it in from somewhere!.

Regards Wolfman

Nope, I downloaded it from the native software centre.

Hi,

check out this guide especially the parts about changing software sources download location and duplicate sources lists and see if that helps you at all:

Hi,

I forgot to ask, do you have a Firefox PPA listed in your software sources list?, if you do; that is what is causing your problem when you re-install FireFox and you need to remove it by editing your software sources list!!.
