macOS Safari – Can’t Find Uninstaller in Folx Downloader

macossafari

I'm new to OS X and I don't know too much about it. After installing Folx on my Mac I realized I didn't like it. I tried to remove it but the plugin didn't remove. When I download any file with Safari it gives an error for the Folx plugin. I've searched and found this website that shows how to uninstall Folx. I can't find the uninstaller file in downloader.mac.dmg.

How can I remove Folx completely?

OS X is a bit different. After putting the application itself in the trash, you should probably use safari preferences to remove the extension. Once you do that you do that, you might want to log out and back in. Then empty the trash.

Alternatively you can look in the library folders - use finder go menu and choose "Go to Folder" and look in both below locations:

~/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins
/Library/Internet\ Plug-Ins

Note the space is encoded with a \ but you can skip that most of the time if you are not pasting into terminal or scripting. Delete any plugins to be nuked and reboot if you removed any from the second system library folder. Then empty trash.
