Ubuntu – How to uninstall Firefox developer edition

application-developmentfirefoxuninstall

I tried uninstalling it from Ubuntu software center. It gets uninstalled but if I re-install Firefox (not developer edition) then it switches to Firefox developer edition.

How do I ONLY uninstall Firefox developer but keep the bookmarks, URL etc. saved for the retro Mozilla Firefox browser. I don't want to loose any data while shifting from Firefox developer edition to the Mozilla Firefox browser.

To remove the Firefox Developer Edition from ppa, use ppa-purge.

First close the Firefox Developer Edition, then run the following:

sudo apt-get install ppa-purge

And then remove the ppa:

sudo ppa-purge ppa:mozillateam/firefox-next

I am not sure if it will keep your Firefox data! But by using Firefox Sync, you can backup everything just in case it deletes everything.

After that remove packages that FDE required, but are no longer needs.

sudo apt-get autoremove

Then reinstall firefox:

sudo apt-get install firefox
