You can find the absolute path to the program by running something like

$ which your_fire_program

then you can determine which package owns it.

$ pacman -Qo `which your_file_program`

Then you can decide if you want to remove that package. If the file
isn't owned by any package then it is probably something you installed
yourself at some point in time.
