I understand that this information show on how to “disable” the firefox plugins, but I’m asking on how to delete these plugins. My antivirus program was literally destroyed by “browser plugins”. My computer was defenseless to computer viruses. I warn everyone who reads this message to be careful on what plugins you get on your Firefox and update your antivirus program as soon as possible.

How do I remove add-ons that have the “uninstall” button unavailable? (It’s grey/ghosted). this is an add-on that I did not accept or install and it is not compatible with the current version of firefox (3.5.2).

Thanks.

Sometimes an extension, toolbar (which is installed as add-on), theme or other add-on cannot be uninstalled or removed through the use of the Firefox Add-ons window. The “Uninstall” button on the Add-ons window appears to be disabled or grayed out. In such cases, try the following workarounds to manually force uninstall, remove or delete the ’stubborn’ add-ons, themes, toolbars, or extensions. See:

I just don’t understand why the “uninstall” feature doesn’t remove all of the extension’s data. It seems FF keeps a cache of old extensions or something. How does one clear that?
