Removing FF ESR

Post by tnffuser »

FF ESR 64 bit previous version.
This is on a friends computer along with 50.0.2 version of 64 bit FF and needs the old ESR removed (she has no idea how it got there?).
Will removing the ESR version affect anything within the 'regular' FF profile?

I ask, because, I was running 32 bit and installed 64 bit FF and after running both for a time removed the 32 bit version and lost data and was needed to restore the profile to the 64 bit version that remained.

1st... by removing your 32 bit from your system should not have removed your profile... unless you click on the (something like) remove data files... those files are your profile files...

As for you friend... tell you what I would do...I'd backup the profile first... then uninstall that ESR version... you might want to review the sections that keep data on disk for those apps... and once uninstalled ... go back and remove old files.... but, make sure that the current profile has been backed up.
