Do removing an extension fully removed it from the computer or does it leave leftover files?

So I installed a extension for Firefox.
And then I removed it.
I want to know if removing a extension leave leftover files or things of that sort on your computer still or does removing a firefox extension fully remove everything associated with that extension?

It depends upon the extension. When an extension is uninstalled the folder containing that extension is removed. Some extensions will add files outside of this folder and they may not be removed. Additionally some extensions add details of their settings/poreferences to the Firefox preferences file and these will normally not be removed.

  • Re: add-ons. Just a simple question I couldn't find an answer to. Is the term "uninstall" equivalent to "remove the software from the computer"?

    I downloaded a You Tube downloader, and expected an icon to come up when You Tube was playing, according to a friend's advice.
    Since this didn't happen I assumed the download didn't work, or was an old version that doesn't work anymore. I wanted to just get rid of it and try another downloader.
    I went to Tools--> Add-ons--> and clicked on the downloaded software and saw the 2 options [Disable] and [Uninstall]. The terminology is unclear, as I've always thought once software resides on your computer you can install it or uninstall it without erasing it from the computer.
    A simple question that seems obvious except to someone who wants to be very precise and sure. Basically "does [Uninstall] mean erase from the computer"?
    Thanks

    With Firefox extensions (Tools > Add-ons > Extensions) you have two possibilities. You can disable an extension if you do not want to use it now, but want to keep it. Or you can uninstall an extension and remove it from the computer. Note that uninstalling an extension still leaves prefs in about:config (prefs.js) and possibly files in the profile folder that will be reused in case you decide to reinstall an extension at a later time.

    well, for starters, is there a URL (link) in the text? if so, you will have to take it out, and include it in the little link area under the comments box.
    If not, check to see if you have 'Http://' or '.com' or something similar in the text.

  • So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message.  It will not allow me to quit the program.  Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

    So I downloaded the wrong Airplane Mode program for my operating system and I now have AppleScript Error message.  It will not allow me to quit the program.  Also, once that happens how do I remove the program from the computer?

    What Airplane Mode program? To stop a running program launch Activity Monitor (in utilities folder) and quit the program from there. To remove the program drag it to the trash or better use the uninstaller that should have come with it.

  • My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer it turns itself off

    My ipod nano is fully charged (I believe) but every time i disconnect from the computer the screen just shuts down and nothing happens. Occasionally it might work but the battery is already as low as it can go and turns it self off. What should i do?

    So the iPod only powers on when connected to an external power source such as a USB port on your PC or when connected to a wall charger?  If so, that is a very good indication that your iPod's battery is shot and in need of replacement.
    Apple can swap it out for a flat fee or you can send it to a third party repair service for a bit less.

    (1) Download the Windows Installer CleanUp utility installer file (msicuu2.exe) from the following Major Geeks page (use one of the links under the "DOWNLOAD LOCATIONS" thingy on the Major Geeks page).
    http://majorgeeks.com/download.php?det=4459
    Here's a screenshot showing the particular links on the page that you should be clicking:
    After clicking one of the circled links, you should be taken to another page, and after a few seconds you should see a download dialog appear for the msicuu2.exe file. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like for me in Firefox:
    Choose to Save the file. If the dialog box does not appear for you, click the link on the page that says "CLICK HERE IF IT DOES NOT". Here's a screenshot of the page with the relevant link circled:
    When the dialog appears, choose to save the file.
    (2) Go to the Downloads area for your Web browser. Doubleclick the msicuu2.exe file and follow the prompts to install the Windows Installer CleanUp utility. (If you're on a Windows Vista or Windows 7 system and you get a Code 800A0046 error message when doubleclicking the msicuu2.exe file, try instead right-clicking on the msicuu2.exe file and selecting "Run as administrator".)
    (3) In your Start menu click All Programs and then click Windows Install Clean Up. The Windows Installer CleanUp utility window appears, listing software that is currently installed on your computer.
    (4) In the list of programs that appears in CleanUp, select any iTunes entries and click "Remove", as per the following screenshot:
    (5) Quit out of CleanUp, restart the PC and try another iTunes install. Does it go through properly this time?
