	Some of us get irritated enough with the innumerable language 
packs in Firefox to take the trouble of removing them -- over, and over. 
(One of these days I may just migrate all my bookmarks and sessions, then 
get rid of Firefox completely, if only for that.)

	Is there any way, even for root, to remove all that cruft without 
being logged in to a GUI? 

	The only way I know is to open Firefox as root (which of course I 
can and do do from the CLI under a normal login), call up Add-ons > 
Languages, and go through hitting uninstall buttons. 

	It's very tedious, and of course it's not a *whole* session; but 
it is a GUI one for root, is it not?
