        LGE Nexus 4
        OS Ubuntu 16.04 (OTA-12)
        Libertine Container: Xenial Xerius
        xenial-firefox Package version 80.0.1+build1-0ubuntu0.16.04.1

        I've installed Firefox via Libertine but it crashes when loading so I tried to uninstall it but it will not remove. There is a wheel spinning next to firefox

        Install status is removing

        is it possible to manually remove this Container and the Firefox launcher?

          In Terminal you can try and delete the package via:
          libertine-container-manager remove-package -p firefox

          OR you can try and delete the entire container:
          libertine-container-manager destroy -i xenial
          (if you have named the container something other than the default then substitute that name for xenial above)

          Best regards,
          Steve Berson

              I've tried this

              libertine-container-manager remove-package -p firefox
              
              libertine-container-manager:220: ERROR: remove-package(): Package 'firefox' is not installed
              
              libertine-container-manager destroy -i xenial
              
              Libertine.py:125: ERROR: _delete_rootfs(): [Errno 13]  Permission Denied: 'dev'
              
              libertine-container-manager list
              
              xenial
              
              libertine-container-manager list-apps
              
              xenial_firefox_0.0
              xenial_python3.5_0.0
              

              if I try to install firefox it says is already installed

              can you tell where the folder location is, the config files, and the icon that is in menu which I'd also like to remove?

              I was also wondering if I can just manually remove the container via sudo -i by navigating to the folder and using rm -R directory

                I figured out how to resolve this so incase anybody has this same issue and would like what appears to be a good fix

                I was able to determine that I could delete the contents of...

                ~/.cache/libertine-container/

                ~/.local/share/libertine-container/user-data/

                using the the terminal 'rm -R CONTAINER-IDENTIFIER'

                an also under ~/.local/share/libertine to remove the ContainerConfig.json
