Can't uninstall Win32 Firefox ESR with Wine Linux Mint.

I accidentally downloaded the Windows 32-bit version of Firefox ESR, so I installed it with Wine. Now, I'm trying to uninstall it so that I can install the Linux version instead. The next button on the uninstaller won't do anything. Please help!

If you don't use wine for anything else, I would suggest removing the WINEPREFIX directory, usually ".wine " in your home directory.

You can view hidden folders in your home directory and then proceed to remove it. If you use wine, I would suggest asking this question in an appropriate forum.

First, I downloaded the Linux version of Firefox ESR. Then, I right clicked on the Firefox icon and selected "Delete". Now Firefox ESR for Windows had been removed After that, I right clicked on where the Firefox icon was and selected "Create a new launcher here...". Next, I went into my downloads, extracted all the Firefox files. After that, selected what said "firefox", named the launcher, and then saved it. Done!
