User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.3; WOW64; rv:57.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/57.0 Build ID: 20171208103543 Steps to reproduce: On windows platform removing Firefox from Control Panel -> Programs and Features. Actual results: Uninstaller show wizard with two steps, which follow user thru delete application steps. Expected results: Can Firefox provide an option (checkbox) for "Clear all profile data" somewhere in uninstall wizard? I'm pretty sure that such ticket exists, but can not find it in bugzilla.
I take it this is WONTFIX, since the option used to exist (bug 398434) and was later removed, and you're adamant against even a command line option in bug 874082, comment 1.

Yes, I think this is still a WONTFIX for the same reasons that bug 874082 was.

Ok, I saw this ticket, but it is too old. Thanks for answer, sorry for disturbing.
It's no problem; in this case, the reasoning from the older bug still applies, but that isn't always true after 5 years.
