How to remove and reinstal Firefox later on
bonsoir
I need to send my PC to the vendor (FNAC) for reparation. I want to clean my confidential files before sending it. Concerning firefox : how to desinstal it from my PC only, and reinstall it after repair with all the previous parameters and setting already installed ( list of passwords, ...)
said differently, I don't want to cancel it definitly because I use it on another computer and I want to recover it after my PC repair.
If you can help me I will really appreciate

After the above, remove the folder. Also, empty the Recycle Bin. Note: In some cases, these can still be recovered with special software.
