so am guessing that whatever they relate to was installed by stealth too at same time. UNINSTALL FIREFOX MAC OS X MAC OS X UNINSTALL FIREFOX MAC OS X MAC OS Select Reset Safari in the drop-down list Open the browser and go to Safari menu. It may be worth mentioning too, that when i was looking in "about:config" i discovered items relating to which are dodgy a**holes. WHAT do i do? i do hold spotify responsible for this as it was not me who asked a dodgy installer bundling company to install it. There are NO folders for it in programs list,Īnd no files i can spot inside firefox folderĪnd nothing that is obvious to me in "about:config" and i am REALLY unhappy about this, i can tell you!Īnd suddenly have an unasked for spotify web player install in my browser! Spotify NEED to understand this: by using dodgy distribution/promotion companies who bundle your software by "stealth" into other installer, you are gaining a BAD reputation. and when iused the search function on the help web page, it would only give me advice on RE-installing! i am very fed up with it and wont be using it again.

and in fact even spotify has NO info on how to uninstall it from my browserr. i cant find evidence of it in "about:config" in my firefox browser.

You can use the Task Manager on your computer to end this background application, by using Ctrl+Alt+Del on your keyboard, and scroll down until you see 'SpotifyWebHelper' application- select it, end the task- and proceed to uninstall Spotify.

Hey, just went through the same issue as you- hopefully this will help anyone else looking to uninstall the desktop version of Spotify, on Windows.įirst of all- if you use the control panel to try and uninstall it, and it doesn't go away, it might be the 'webHelper' application holding you back.
