How did you uninstall those PWAs? If using profile deletion, this is a known bug that will be fixed in the next release. Also, can you check if they are still listed in firefoxpwa profile list?

To remove them, you will have to manually delete some registry keys:

1. Open Registry Editor (regedit).
2. Open HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall and delete FFPWA- subkeys that match your deleted PWAs.
3. Do the same for HKCU\SOFTWARE\FirefoxPWA's and HKCU\SOFTWARE\Classes' subkeys.
4. Open HKCU\SOFTWARE\RegisteredApplications and delete FFPWA- values that match your deleted PWAs.

Also, can you check if they are still listed in firefoxpwa profile list?

No.

HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall

It also has old firefox versions

Also I am not able to uninstall old Profiles

It also has old firefox versions

Maybe you misunderstood me. I meant literally string "CurrentVersion". Open regedit and copy HKCU\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall into its address bar. Then, you will see a bunch of FFPWA- subkeys in the tree on the left. You can click on each of them to check which PWA they are for, and delete unwanted ones.

Also I am not able to uninstall old Profiles

What happens when you try to uninstall them?

[Rexadev]

Maybe you misunderstood me.

I understand you. I am saying there is also old version of firefox like iirc ther was firefox 105 and 106

What happens when you try to uninstall them?

It shows removed! but when I click on addon again it is still there

Fix for #243 that has been released in 2.2.0 may also fix this. Please update to that version and check if it works.
