I am trying to find where do webapps install after accepting them with Firefox. This can help me when I want to eliminate one of them or edit something.

  • This should answer your question about removing certain ones. You can view them in software center too.

There are many ways to find this information.

1) You can find it by opening the .deb that installs them.

As an example, I pick the .deb of youtube's one from here: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/i386/unity-webapps-youtube/2.4.10 Open it with archive manager, then look for the file DEBIAN/md5sums and open it with a text editor. It is

a4b9f911211d21db51342de237b5dc5c  usr/share/doc/unity-webapps-youtube/copyright
c571c6d100d418b65bcacbb4f78d46d6  usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png
0d55340014577968398aab8fcee7409c  usr/share/icons/unity-webapps-applications/128/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png
c571c6d100d418b65bcacbb4f78d46d6  usr/share/icons/unity-webapps-applications/48/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png

a7d678d599978f9ac7bffe36d776558c  usr/share/icons/unity-webapps-applications/64/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png
58beafe67c7b136d0f157c963445c514  usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-youtube/YouTube.user.js
5f8d5ce54c5a7c7c4cca88d5691beedd  usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-youtube/manifest.json

This are the files installed with the webapp.

2) As an alternative you can use apt-file

By using simply

$ apt-file show unity-webapps-youtube 
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/doc/unity-webapps-youtube/changelog.gz
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/doc/unity-webapps-youtube/copyright
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/icons/hicolor/48x48/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/icons/unity-webapps-applications/128/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/icons/unity-webapps-applications/48/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/icons/unity-webapps-applications/52/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/icons/unity-webapps-applications/64/apps/unity-webapps-youtube.png
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-youtube/YouTube.user.js
unity-webapps-youtube: /usr/share/unity-webapps/userscripts/unity-webapps-youtube/manifest.json

3) You can achieve the same by using dpkg -L

Note that this will work only if the package is already installed.

Anyhow, I don't really know how you can use this informations to kill them ;)
