Remove app installed with App Manager through remove debugging

more options

I've enabled remote debugging on Firefox for Android, connected from App Manager on desktop Firefox and pressed "Update". Now app is listed in "Apps" in my Firefox for Android, but not in app drawer, so now I'm unable either lunch that app or uninstall it. Even debugging not working now. Is there any way to remmove it even manually? (I have root access on my Android 4.4.4 device)

"Now app is listed in "Apps" in my Firefox for Android" - yes, I was talking about about:apps page, there is no possibility to remove apps from there.

I've removed folder /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox/files/mozilla/webapps and apps finally gone, but that possibly works only in my case, because I do not have apps installed from marketplace, otherwise it might be more difficult because of need to edit webapps.json there.

Hi nazar-pc, On the about:apps page is the app listed and does it let you remove it?

On the device is the data located in: /data/data/org.mozilla.firefox

The only option I can find on the operating system is the App Manager's option to clear all of the data. Perhaps since it is rooted, you can read that folder?
