Software installed from source or special packages usually ends up in
/usr/local/something. Check in there.

.... might be good to know how you installed it. where
did you get firefox from? bring yast up and see if
firefox is listed (software -> install/remove)

If you downloaded firefox from mozilla.org and did not install it as
root, it's probably somewhere in your home directory. Try "locate
firefox-bin" or "whereis firefox-bin".

If you installed it from an RPM, then something like

rpm -qa | grep -i firefox

should give you the correct package name. Then

rpm -ql <package name>

will give you the full pathnames of all files that were installed as
part of the package.

And rpm -e <package name>
will remove it.

Or if you know one of the files (eg firefox-- do whereis firefox or locate
firefox or
find / -name firefox
to find it (that will take a while), and then do
rpm -qf firefox
will tell you the package name.

If you can still run it, it's probably in your path -- try "which firefox"
from a shell prompt. Or, failing that, try "locate firefox|less"

If you're launching FireFox from a desktop object, look in the properties
of the object.
