How do I uninstall Microsoft Store version of Firefox?

Firefox Installation and updates

When I started up Windows 11 on my new laptop, I had to connect to the web via Edge to be able to install Firefox. I foolishly went on to install Firefox via Microsoft Store. I have now installed Firefox from the Mozilla website via the Microsoft Store version, but I cannot uninstall the Microsoft Store version. I don't have access to the folder where it is installed even though I log on as an administrator.

I thought you uninstall via Settings > Apps not by going to the directory.

Windows keeps a complex registry of all installed apps and not uninstalling via the GUI you would leave a lot of Mozilla data hanging around which may then be a conflict
