+# 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:
+# * Files and directories located in the installation's "distribution/" and
+# "extensions/" directories that were added before Firefox 27. Files and
+# directories located in these directories were not included in the
+# application update file removals for a complete update prior to Firefox 27.
+# * Empty directories that were accidentally added to the installation
+# directory.
+# * Third party files and directories that were added to the installation
+# directory. 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 one of the developers that work 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/*
