Firefox cookies but no Firefox installed

[Larry Dunn]

I get a list of Firefox cookies that can't be immunized.

This is very odd, since Firefox isn't installed. How can I get rid of the cookies?

Hello,

So Firefox is present at the immunization area?

Did you have it installed and removed it?
There might be some leftovers.

SpyBot Search & Destroy is likely finding Firefox profile folders that weren't removed when Firefox was uninstalled. Users are given the option when uninstalling Firefox to delete the profiles.

By default on Win 7, the path is C:\Users\%USER%\AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\********.++++. The ******** is a random alphanumeric and the ++++ will be the name that is given by the user. If the user gives no name, the Default is the default.

Thanks for your replies. But how do I deal with the leftovers?

I don't know where they are, or how to find and kill them.

If you no longer have Firefox installed and don't plan on reinstalling it, you can safely delete the entire Firefox profile folder. When SpyBot Search & Destroy is run next, there will be no Firefox profile to find and it shouldn't be list in SpyBot S&D.

Thanks, Gopher John!

This is information I can work with.

I appreciate it. Those Firefox junk bits have been with me for months/years!
