Thread: Remove a shortcut from Dash

  1. #1

    Question Remove a shortcut from Dash

    I have Ubuntu 11.04, upgraded from 10.10, and I'm logging into the default Ubuntu, Unity. In Dash, if I search for "firefox", I get three results:
    Firefox Web Browser
    Mozilla Firefox
    Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)

    Clicking Firefox Web Browser brings up Firefox just fine. But both Mozilla Firefoxes do nothing. I have a feeling that they're left over from Wine, but I'm not sure. The Uninstall Wine Software program doesn't show Firefox, but I may have uninstalled it through there a long time ago.

    I want to remove these shortcuts from Dash. I tried checking the Main Menu program, but Mozilla Firefox isn't in there (though Firefox Web Browser is). I looked in /usr/share/menu/, and found a file called "firefox". That file specifies a title of "Firefox Browser", so I'm not sure if it even applies. The command it gives, "/usr/bin/firefox", is good, anyway. I don't see any other firefox related file there.

    So, does anyone know how I remove those shortcuts from Dash?

    ~/.local/share/applications

    that's a hidden folder by the way, open the file manager & press ctrl+h to see hidden.

    This helped to delete the shortcut for a website that was created by Midori. Thanks.
