I never installed Firefox using an RPM. I just uncompressed some binaries,
which seem to have done the trick. If I was to remove Firefox, I would just
log in (root privileges not needed in my case) and
rm -rf ~/..../Programs/firefox
The KDE file manager (i.e. Konqueror) might be an easier for the OP to do
this assuming no RPM was ever handled.
To remove all user-bound settings as well as Firefox, apply the same to
~/.mozilla/firefox/
