Idk how I have firefox developer edition installed but somehow but it's not in the path, and i can't uninstall it.
You do not remember how you installed it? Try looking into ~/.local/share/applications directory

@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnarlast time I tried Wine it installed ton of launchers there and then did not clean them18:42:22
@jtojnar:matrix.orgJan Tojnarbut it might also be a bug in packaging18:42:33

there is no shortcut. yes i remember how i installed it, it's not a flatpak, not a windows exe, it was from the nixpkgs, the issue is that i am not able to remove the package as i'd normally do, like just removing it from environment.systemPackages of my configuration.nix.

Ah, there is the app binary: /nix/store/03i8ch7wfzwf2fhdi9ql5j0m33h0razb-firefox-devedition-unwrapped-116.0b8/lib/firefox/firefox

The only way I can think of to remove it is to manually remove the binary, but will that work? Or does something else need to be done to remove it completely? For me, removing it completely should also remove it from the "Open with..." options.

@uep:matrix.orguep did you maybe install it with nix-env -i ? 00:57:30

no, I never install things like that, I add the packages I want to my configuration.nix, then I run sudo nixos-rebuild switch, to uninstall I just remove the packages from that file and rebuild, but that time it didn't work, no, now I can't get rid of firefox-devedition, I can't even set another browser as default.

@uep:matrix.orguep ok, cool. It's just a way that it might have remained installed despite being removed from environment.systemPackages 01:43:52
@uep:matrix.orgueptry looking for the gc-roots of that path01:44:30

try looking for the gc-roots of that path
hm, how?
01:44:58
@uep:matrix.orguep nix-store --query --roots <path> 01:46:59
@uep:matrix.orguepthat should tell you what's keeping it live in the store (a system generation, a user profile, etc). Which might help track down where to remove it from01:47:49
@cifre:matrix.org@cifre:matrix.orgokay it returns this "{censored} -> /nix/store/03i8ch7wfzwf2fhdi9ql5j0m33h0razb-firefox-devedition-unwrapped-116.0b8"01:49:31
@cifre:matrix.org@cifre:matrix.org * okay it returns this

@uep:matrix.orguep consored is probably a running process though 01:50:05
