 @cifre:matrix.org | * 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, now I can't get rid of firefox-devedition, I can't even set another browser as default. | 01:19:58 |

| uep | that 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 from | 01:47:49 |
| @cifre:matrix.org | okay it returns this "{censored} -> /nix/store/03i8ch7wfzwf2fhdi9ql5j0m33h0razb-firefox-devedition-unwrapped-116.0b8" | 01:49:31 |
| @cifre:matrix.org | * okay it returns this
{censored} -> /nix/store/03i8ch7wfzwf2fhdi9ql5j0m33h0razb-firefox-devedition-unwrapped-116.0b8 | 01:49:47 |
