Uninstall #46

Closed tjallemaal closed 2 years ago

tjallemaal commented 2 years ago

Hey, I just installed the extension, but then I saw it is listed among firefox's addons anyway. I just wanna know, just in case I might want to uninstall it.

Thanks for this great extension!

Appreciate it.

on my command line it says: added 591 packages, and audited 592 packages in 52s how do I remove them?

lawrencehook commented 2 years ago

Not sure I'm following exactly. The added 591 packages, and audited 592 packages in 52s message is from npm, the node package manager. It downloads packages into a node_modules folder. I believe removing them is a simple matter of deleting the folder.

Removing the extension from firefox is another matter. Should be fairly straightforward from the about:addons page.

tjallemaal commented 2 years ago

I've looked into about:addons, it's not there. But I ran it already in the command line, namely viaweb-ext run.

Sorry bothering, I'm just not so tech savvy

All good.

If you just want to install the extension to Firefox, go here and click "Add to Firefox".

The web-ext run command is for getting started with dev work.

Yes! But i've already installed it the "dev" way, so I want to first uninstall it...

Yeah, when I saw that it's available in the firefox "store" it was too late

tjallemaal commented 2 years ago

Is there a CLI command to uninstall it ? I don't want to pollute my harddrive

The "dev" way is temporary. As soon as the web-ext run process stops (for example with ctrl+c), there won't be an installation anywhere.

alright! thanks lawrence. I'm just too ignorant
