@abigpony It may seem this way, but it is actually insanely convenient. For powerusers, this means that instead of having to type "C:\Program Files\Mozilla\Firefox\Firefox.exe" simply typing "firefox" is enough to start Firefox. This also means that it is a lot easier for your system to take care of all your software. At any rate, there is absolutely no reason to be messing around in the installation directory anyway, as the configuration settings aren't saved there, only the binary files (would be .exe on Windows, on Linux they don't have any extension). It should technically be possible to change this behaviour if you must really need to, though that's something for advanced users and, believe me, you don't want to do that. It is different from what you're used to with Windows, yes, but definitely not a bad system. If you even become power-user enough to mess around there, you'll be happy with it. Also, Ubuntu can be uninstalled in Add/Remove software under Windows with only 1 click.
