How do I remove plugins

NB: I want to remove them, not deactivate them.
All I see is the option to deactivate them. Why is there no remove option?

Plugins are added by external software and not under control of Firefox and can only be disabled unlike extensions that are installed in Firefox.
You will have to go to the program that installed the plugin to remove it from Firefox.
You can find the installation path of all plugins on the <b>about:plugins</b> page.

How do I remove plugin-container.exe safely and be sure it doesn't return?

plugin-container.exe keeps running in my Windows task manager slowing or sometimes freezing my computer. How do I eliminate this problem? I am running Firefox 4.0.1., which I will have to stay with for now as the update will not accept my Logitech product.

Thank you for the detailed information. I'm confused, however, as to which is the best way to go: leave the plugin-container.exe to keep me from crashing even though it slows ... sometimes freezes ... my computer (especially since I use Adobe Flash; or, disable/remove it and continue with Firefox crashes as I did before the plugin-container.exe was added to Firefox. Such a mind-boggling problem for one who is close to being computer illiterate.

How to uninstall java plugin without removing JRE completely

how to uninstall java plugin without removing JRE completely.
Hope someonce can help, all the documentation ive seen till now shows how to uninstall the Java plugin by completely removing the JRE.
Also if you install JRE 1.4.1_01 and do not choose to install the browser plugin on the browers prompted ... does it not install the plugin?

In IE
Tools -> Internet Options -> Settings -> View Objects
Delete the ActiveX control for the Java Plugin
This removes the ActiveX control (plug-in) from the browser but doesn't delete the JRE.

How do I remove Lotus Notes PDFMaker plugin via command line?

How do I remove the lotus notes PDFMaker plugin via command line? I originally deployed Adobe Acrobat 10 as a complete install to many computers. I see how to remove this specific feature through the GUI in Windows 7 by going to control panel / programs and features / Adobe Acrobat X / change / modify / create adobe PDF / acrobat PDFMaker / Lotus Notes, but this would be a tedious task to do manually at each computer. I've experimented with a few msiexec commands after removing Acrobat such as:
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" remove=pdfmakerforlotusnotes
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" disable_pdfmaker=yes
Both still install acrobat as a complete install. Any help and suggestions would be appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you Sabian, that did the trick. Here is the command line I used for anyone else having a similar issue:
msiexec /i "\\path to msi" REMOVE=PDFMakerForLotusNotes /qn
I did this on a test machine with a complete Acrobat installed. I ran the above command and it removed the Lotus Notes PDFMaker plugin. I should also note that it didn't downgrade my version of Acrobat and all of my custom settings within the application are still there.

How to remove plugin container in firefox 14.0.1?

Is there a way to remove plugin-container in firefox 14.0.1? Any extra process is unacceptable and I've always had plugin-container remove before. But from what I read it is needed to run the newest flash, so can gives us a option to automatically close the plugin-container after you have played a flash video, I hate to manually shut it down every time. OR embed the plugin container into firefox.exe so thats it isnt another process.

# In the [[Location bar autocomplete|Location bar]], type '''about:config''' and press '''Enter'''. The about:config "''This might void your warranty!''" warning page may appear.
# Click '''I'll be careful, I promise!''', to continue to the about:config page.
# Find '''dom.ipc.cnabled''' in the list and toggle its value to '''false'''.

There are incompatable plugins whose removal buttons are grayed out. How do you remove them then?

I visited a website once, and now every time I open a tab, it tries to redirect to that website. How do I remove this "feature"?

Some website called MyStart keeps trying to redirect every blank tab I open to its website. I doesn't seem to work, but I get sick of seeing it try anyway, and it worries me because I don't recall giving it permission to do this. I added the SiteBlock plugin and added the URL it's trying to redirect me to on the blacklist, and even though now my new tabs are blank the way they're supposed to be, I still see the URL in the tab heading, so whatever this thing is, its still on my computer or in my browser. But I can't find it anywhere in my add-ons and extensions and such. It's also not in my programs on my computer.

There have been several threads about this add-on during the past few months...
It is important to check the Windows Control Panel > Programs and Features to remove the source(s). These may include the following:
* Incredibar
* MyStart
* Web Assistant
After that, restart Firefox and start clearing out its settings as described in the following threads. Many users find it simpler to "Reset" than to take multiple steps to clean-up Firefox. That's up to you.

Re: safari 6.0 flash problem (blocked plug in)
Jul 26, 2012 7:39 AM (in response to defconnect5)
I have a new MacBook Pro and I followed these instructions, downlonading and installing the new Flash plugin. But when I looked in "/Library/Internet Plugins" there was no folder called "Disabled Plugins".
However, I did see two versions of Flash:
_Flash Player.plugin with old date
Flash Player.plugin with todays date
I deleted _Flash Player.plugin and this fixed the problem.

For some reason my podcast is in the iTunes store twice. How do I removed one of them?

I am a publisher and use the BluBrry podcast plugin, I also had an xml feed on my server, so I think that is why the podcast is shown twice in the store. My question is, how do I remove one fo them?

Apple give you the instructions here:
http://www.apple.com/itunes/podcasts/specs.html#removing
It would be a good idea to take down the feed you don't want. It won't remove the Store page but it will prevent subscriptions and also give Apple more incentive to remove the podcast.

I'm guessing the page is a PDF, and it is being displayed in the new Firefox 19 PDF Viewer? Unfortunately, there is currently no way to suppress headers and footers in the PDF Viewer without changing Page Setup globally. More information in this thread: [https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/951147 Print from the PDF viewer without page information].
To switch to the Acrobat plugin, or an external application, see this article: [[How to disable the built-in PDF viewer and use another viewer]].

How do I remove the WiseConvert B Community toolbar from Firefox?

How do I remove the WiseConvert B Community toolbar from Firefox? It has suddenly appeared and even though I open FireFox > View>Toolbars> deselect Wise Convert etc. it reappears when I reopen FireFox. Can't find anything in any of my files about it.

If you select Add-ons from the Tool menu, do you see this "WiseConvert" thing as a plugin or extension? If so, you can just disable it from there...
