When I install all versions of Firefox prior to my current version 13 it does not uninstall all files. Why is this allowed? Why are all files not uninstalled when firefox is removed

Hello Mace

when drag the Firefox application to the "Trash" to uninstall Firefox, does not remove your user profile, which includes personal information such as bookmarks, passwords and cookies, to do that see: Removing user data and settings

is in here ~Library/Application Support/Firefox

also : Firefox also has a .plist file at ~/Library/Preferences/org.mozilla.firefox.plist to remove too

thank you

I am aware of the removal procedure. What I want to know is why Firefox does not remove all information related to the Application Firefox?
