How to completely remove firefox and reinstall in fedora

I want to remove firefox completely in my fedora 17 as its having some issues after upgrading from firefox 12 to firefox 22.

I already have tried yum remove firefox and yum install firefox but it is not solving issues.

The issues are right click menu is not working in the browser. "Firebug" is not working.

How can i remove all physical backup files or firefox related files in fedora 17

Please help.

Removing the package via the software manager as you did is all there is. You can check the files inside the package if you feel like, but there is no additional magic outside that file list. BUT: in addition you must remove your personal settings, otherwise those 'survive' the replacement of the package. Look for a hidden folder in your home directory: .firefox or .mozilla (note the leading dot).
