How can I remove any addons after I have uninstalled Firefox?

A few months age Firefox decided it did not want to play any more after an update. It had something to do with the addons, I submitted a comprehensive error report at the time and didn't hear of any fixes since then. I removed Firefox with revo-uninstaller and reinstalled it at least 3 times since and still got the same error message.
So what I want to do now is remove any addons and remnants from Firefox. How should I go about this? I was going to just go through Program Files and delete anything that remotely looked like an addon folder and then I was going to go and butcher the registry. But I think that might be a bad idea.
So "How should I go about this" in the most effective and safe way?
Cheers in advance for any help.

If you want to completely remove Firefox, including user profile data (bookmarks, passwords, cookies, installed extensions, etc.) you can follow the directions here:
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox#On_Windows
This may not remove add-ons that have been globally installed, such as extensions or plugins that are located outside of the Firefox program or profile folder. It would help if you let us know what add-on you are trying to remove.

  • How can I remove powerpc software after I have downloaded Lion

    How do I remove power pc software from my imac after already installing Lion.  The programs to remove them are, of course, dead now also.

    Any app that will not work will have a circle and slash through it. Go to application folder and look for apps icon with this sign. Just delete them by dragging to trash. If you would like to be thorough there are apps like appscleaner and others that will also remove associated files. Although leaving them there will not hurt.

    How do I remove the updates after you have updated them?

    In iOS 7 they remain in a list. This is because now you can optionally turn on automatic app update and so you may want to be able to tell what apps have updated recently. You can just ignore the list if you don't care. Also you will only see the red number badge when there are new ones to update.

  • How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?

    How do I remove Norton Antivirus *after* I have installed Lion?
    The Norton uninstaller is a PPC native app and Lion won't run it.
    Thanks.

    You should run the removal applicaiton that came with your installation. Read this from the Norton web site..https://www-secure.symantec.com/norton-support/jsp/help-solutions.jsp?product=No rton+for+Mac+Products&version=current&lg=english&ct=united+states&pvid=f-mac&doc id=v64924250_EndUserProfile_en_us/
    Norton AV 12 for Lion is available online.
    If you want an AV program compatible with Lion then look at Intego Virus Barrier 6.

  • Can I remove photoshop cs2 after I have upgraded from cs2 to cs5?

    Can I remove Photoshop CS2 after I have upgraded from CS2 to CS5?  I upgraded from CS2 to CS5 quite a while ago and I have never removed CS2.  Will it affect CS5 to remove the old CS2 if it was an upgrade?

    If I were you I would just delete the installed  Adobe CS2 folder. Adobe CS2 uninstaller my remove settind CS5 made to your system after CS2.   The CS2 uninstaller may try to restore settings to a point in time where there was no Photoshop installed on your system.  If you do a CS un-install you may need to then Install CS5 on top of itself the update cs5 for the install will not have the updates you will be back at CS5 level .

  • How can I remove a Disabled Extension not compatible with Firefox 4.0.1? I just want to remove it... I don't want to wait for a compatible update. Why can't I remove it?

    When I upgraded from 3.XX to 4.0.1, it informed me that 2 extensions were not compatible and it never gave me the option to remove them. Firefox 4.0.1 disabled them and now I'm not able to remove them.
    Also they were added by Acrobat Pro X (Adobe Acrobat - Create PDF 1.0) and Nokia Ovi Suite (Firefox Synchronisation Extension 7.3.4.51).
    These extensions won't probably be updated unless they update the software that installed them. With this said, How can I remove the disabled extensions? Why it doesn't give me a button to remove them to start with?

    I think it's not the problem of compatibility. Extensions installed into Windows registry won't have a remove button ( or it's greyed out ). For these extensions, you can have a look into these keys:
    HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    If you are under a 64bit OS as I am, you may also try this key:
    HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions\
    And you may find the registry entries corresponding to the extensions you want to remove. Just export them to a backup.reg, then delete these entries. Firefox will do the rest, but it seems that fx still leaves extensions.rdf untouched. You can also delete the RDF entries corresponding to those extensions inside extensions.rdf
    cf: http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_add-ons#Windows_Registry_extension
    BUT the Wow6432Node key wasn't mentioned in the above article
    I had to search the registry to find out the entry corresponding to a Fiddler2 extension, then I found the Wow6432Node key. I also saw the Nokia Ovi Suite entry beside the Fiddler2 entry.
    Hope it helps.

  • How can i remove items from list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing empty

    how can i remove items from the list that have been deleted when i click on them it keeps showing folder empty

    Actually, Reader SHOULD keep showing documents that no longer exist, I disagree. It's no big deal, and people will quickly realise why they can't open the file. They open more files, the old ones move off.
    The REASON why it should not check is that checking whether a file exists can take a long time when things aren't good. For instance if a file server goes down, or a memory card is unplugged. That in turn would mean delays opening the File menu, and I've seen some software that can sit there for several minutes. That would really give people something of which to complain...

  • New version of Firefox is missing settings. I cannot block ad links or animated pictures any more. I have uninstalled Firefox and plan not to use it now.

    The new version of Firefox does not allow me to block sites from displaying media that I don't want. Many site advertisers trigger unpleasant animations and pics and I refuse to use a browser that does not allow me to block those. Because of this I have uninstalled and deleted Firefox from all my computers, including programs, settings, and registry entries.
    If I get a reasonable answer from Mozilla on the settings I am missing then I will re-install Firefox, and if not then I'm never using Firefox again.

    None of the solutions above allows me to block display of all images on a web page or to prevent scripts from running. Preventing pop-ups does not cut it. I want to see a web page that, without my explicit permission, displays nothing but text on every site. This has to do with regular content on pages, not advertisements. So far, it seems, the new Firefox is unable to provide this security.
    These days so many 'advertisers' (so they call themselves) are competing more and more viciously to hijack web pages that I need to access by using auto-linking and animated images to get around ad-blockers. I need to be able to block everything except text on a page unless i give specific information to allow it for a particular site - some sites do not allow those ads and I can release the restrictions on those sites.
    I am not using Firefox, and also have some complaints about other browsers; I am considering doing all my work on the Tor browser.
