I recently installed Xubuntu on an older Chromebook and switched to a lighter browser. Now, I'm trying to uninstall Firefox completely, including all its data, but I'm having trouble figuring out how to do it. I'm on Ubuntu version 25.10, using an Acer CB3-131 Chromebook.

Just a heads up, I tried the `apt remove` command before, and it didn't fully uninstall Firefox for me. I still saw it in the start menu and could launch it. Might need to double check if it's still lingering as a snap.
It sounds like Firefox might be installed as a snap package. You can try running `sudo snap remove firefox` in the terminal to get rid of it.
Another option is to use `sudo apt remove firefox`, but to be more thorough, you should also do `sudo apt purge firefox` to clean up any leftover configuration files and caches.
