Hi

I was playing around with the new 'Hello' feature, and imported my Google contacts by mistake. I'm trying to remove them, but the 'remove contact' is not available.

How do I remove the contacts?

Thank you in advance.

hi BigBarruda, you can do the following in order to remove all contacts again:

go to the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > troubleshooting information, click on profile folder/show folder and close all firefox windows afterwards. a windows explorer window should open up - in there delete the folder named idb contained within the \storage\persistent\chrome\ subfolders - restart firefox afterwards.
