# The removed-files.in file specifies files and directories to be removed during
# an application update that are not automatically removed by the application
# update process. The application update process handles the vast majority of
# file and directory removals automatically so this file should not be used in
# the vast majority of cases.

# When to use removed-files.in file to remove files and directories:
# * Empty directories that were accidentally added to the installation
#   directory.
# * Files and directories that were added to the installation directory after
#   the build was completed (typically third party files). Under normal
#   circumstances this should only be done after release drivers have approved
#   the removal of these third party files.

# If you are not sure whether a file or directory should be removed using the
# removed-files.in file please contact a developer that works on application
# update.

# Note: the "distribution/" and "browser/extensions/" directories should never
# be removed recursively since these directories are used by Partner builds and
# custom installations.

# To specify a file to be removed add the path to the file.
# * If the file doesn't exist the update will succeed.
# * If the file exists and can't be removed (e.g. the file is locked) the
#   update will fail.
#
# Example: path/to/file

# To specify a directory to be removed only if it is empty add the path to the
# directory with a trailing forward slash.
# * If the directory doesn't exist the update will succeed.
# * If the directory can't be removed (e.g. the directory is locked, contains
#   files, etc.) the update will succeed.
#
# Example: path/to/dir/

# To specify a directory that should be recursively removed add the path to the
# directory with a trailing forward slash and "*".
# * If the directory doesn't exist the update will succeed.
# * If all of the files the directory contains can be removed but the directory
#   or a subdirectory can't be removed (e.g. the directory is locked) the update
#   will succeed.
# * If a file within the directory can't be removed the update will fail.
#
# Example: path/to/dir/*

# Due to Apple Mac OS X packaging requirements files that are in the same
# directory on other platforms must be located in different directories on
# Mac OS X. The following defines allow specifying the Mac OS X bundle
# location and will use an empty string on other platforms.
#
# @DIR_MACOS@
# Equals Contents/MacOS/ on Mac OS X and is an empty string on other platforms.
#
# @DIR_RESOURCES@
# Equals Contents/Resources/ on Mac OS X and is an empty string on other
# platforms.

# An update watershed was required to update to Firefox 56 for LZMA and SHA384
# support. This made it possible to delete all of the removal instructions in
# this file.

# Remove the toplevel chrome.manifest added by bug 1295542.
