Complete Reinstall
What is the easiest way to uninstall and then reinstall Pale Moon on Debian? I have a few bugs and would like to do a fresh reinstall. Thank you in advance.
Re: Complete Reinstall
With difficulty! I recall the install of the browser was not easy. I downloaded it from Pusser's page but the packages required were not self-evident to me. I finally managed to install it, but I don't recall all the steps. Any help would be appreciated!

Re: Complete Reinstall
Is there a way to reinstall on Debian simply using Pale Moon's own website? I'd like to do that if possible. Thanks.

Re: Complete Reinstall
No, there isn't.
You need to remove the folder in your home, then uninstall Pale Moon via apt/dpkg and then reinstall it like the instructions say.

Re: Complete Reinstall
There is no Pusser's program. apt is on your system and you can easily uninstall Pale Moon with it.
You git that packages from Pusser's repository.
Code: Select all
sudo apt remove --purge palemoon
