Complete Uninstall of Firefox? [Mint10]

[knuckles]

Hi,

I question is short. I will use Chromium as Browser, after I do not need a second Web-Browser.
But I can't uninstall Firefox completely. When I uninstall Firefox >> abrowser get installed. If I uninstall abrowser >> the system reinstall Firefix automatically ...

So what can I do to uninstall Firefox completely?

thanks in advance
Daniel

Like the last post on the "bug" thread it isn't a bug but a package dependency.

This is on Debian but should be close to what would need to be removed to remove Firefox. Some browser plugins will probably have to be removed, then reinstalled as well especially flash and java.
