And no, the answer Jörgen Juel gave some other user does not work: Long-press, select and hold, whatever you want to call it -- on Android it gives you the standard Android editing options, NOT an uninstall button.

Which makes it hard to decide whether Jörgen's "you might be more used to the Android way, but Firefox OS works more like iOS, just press and hold..." was more infuriatingly arrogant or more hilariously condescending: Yes, of course that user is more used to the Android way, given that it was an Android phone he was asking about. That's why his phone works the Android way, and the iOS / MozillaOS instructions won't work.

So, the question remains: IS there any way to remove Mozilla-apps from FireFox on Android?

Yes, Tap on the soft menu and tap on Tools then Apps, then go to your apps. Make sure you are logged in and go to my apps. This will list the apps.

On the homescreen you can tap and hold onto the app and drag to uninstall. If there is an app that does not allow this, please report it.

We can troubleshoot and reproduce from there. Thank you.
