I've installed a firefox marketplace app for my desktop firefox that I'd to uninstall it now, but I can't seem to find where they're actually listed at.

I can't see them in the add-ons page, nor does going to about:apps show anything

Please go to your control panel and find add or remove programs to see if it would be listed there.

Thanks!

sorry forgot to mention I'm on linux mint 13

I can see the app in the menu, but there's no way for me to uninstall it there.

I've tried looking for the app under synaptic package manager but can't find it there

Hi, I don't know if you still have your problem uninstalling a marketplace app on linux, but I figured the "hard way" to remove an app.

Go to your home directory, look at the hidden files, you should see a directory like ".http;someapp".

Remove it. This step removes the application from your computer.

Then go to ~/.local/share/applications and remove the file that looks like your app. This will remove the launcher from your desktop / start menu / activity view depending on your distribution.

It looks like a dirty method but I haven't found another way yet.
