I'm a beginner with Mac OS X. Would somebody please tell me how to fully uninstall Firefox using Terminal on Mac OS X Lion?
I'm experiencing hangs and crashes with Firefox 5.0.1, so I want to remove it then re-install it.
Thanks so much in advance.

To remove Firefox.app:
sudo rm -rf /Applications/Firefox.app/
You get the same result by just dragging the Firefox app from /Applications/ to the trash.
If the crashes continue after reinstalling, deleting preferences and support files in the user library may help:
~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox*
~/Library/Application Support/Firefox
~/Library/Application Support/Mozilla
~/Library/Mozilla
~/Library/Caches/Firefox
