How do I uninstall a desktop app for Firefox OS?

I have installed Internet Radio (from Firefox Marketplace) on my computer (with Linux Mint 17.1 Rebecca) but now, I want to uninstall it, what is the right way to do it? I can make right click on the main menu and choose uninstall option, but seems the app is not associated with any program to uninstall or something.

Linux distros differ, but those that support Desktop Actions should uninstall the app when you select "uninstall" from the context menu.

I'm not sure why that isn't working for you, but a workaround, as described in bug 761806, comment 60, is to invoke the app's executable with the -remove flag from a command line, something like:

~/.appname-hash/webapprt-stub -remove

Where appname is a recognizable descriptor for the app, and hash is an arbitrary string of characters. On my Linux machine, this InternetRadio app installs to ~/.internetradio-08ac29b1795d0c93f780050049fbff0f.

Also see bug 896679 for discussion of alternative interfaces for uninstalling an app on Linux (for distros that don't support desktop actions).
