Firefox Installer stuck on Kubuntu 9.10

[twoHats]

Hi All -

While installing Firefox on Kubuntu 9.10 using the (questionable) Firefox Installer, a problem occurred, and the install aborted. When i tried to install again later, I was informed that Firefox was already installed, and the app shut down. Oh well - so much for the strange installer, i thought.

I installed Firefox using the new package updater (and Adept was ditched because ?) and all went well, if a little clunky, but i noticed the Installer is still there, and seems to be stuck there. I believe the idea was that the un-install of the installer would be automatic upon FF installation so the user wouldn't have to worry about it. Therefore - no way to uninstall it.

Anyone solve this? Kind of a hastle having the unused software gumming up the works.

Thanks

Yeah, I had that happen too. Well, I had just installed Firefox from the command line, didn't realize there was an installer.

The package is called kubuntu-firefox-installer. You should be able to just remove it.

sudo apt-get remove kubuntu-firefox-installer

Looks like they have this fixed for 10.04.
