How to remove disabled plugin in Firefox

I have three Firefox Plugins which are disabled, but no means to remove same, and they do not show up Microsoft Uninstall or Change a Program Panel.

You can set the plugin.expose_full_path pref to true on the about:config page to see the full path of plugins on the about:plugins page.
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/Issues_related_to_plugins#Identifying_installed_plugins
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:plugins
*http://kb.mozillazine.org/about:config
It is best not to leave that pref set to true as it exposes that full path to web servers via the navigator.plugins object, so reset that pref to false after you are done with the about:plugins page.

How to remove unwanted plugins (and no I don't want to read any unrelated articles that never answer your question)?

I want to clear out the unwanted plugins in Fire Fox . One plugin even has a warning about not using it (Java Deployment Toolkit). But every time I ask "how to remove a plugin?" , I am redirected to an article that doesn't answer the question. And then the circular argument begins again without ever actually answering the question.
IS IT NECESSARY TO UNINSTALL FIREFOX TO REMOVE A PLUGIN??????

Plugins like ex Flash and Java etc are not installed in Firefox like Extensions and Themes are. They are on system and Firefox has found and is making use of them. This is why you can only activate/deactivate which tells Firefox to make use of that Plugin on system or not.

How to remove auto start of firefox plug in page

1) how to remove auto start of firefox plug in page. we do not want this site to open when openning firefox.
2) we proceeded with a few updates as requested, but firefox did not show the update once complete-still said need to update.

First of all your Flash plugin is out of date: Use Adobe's own page to test your version of the plug-in and to update it www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/ -- evidently the same information is not getting to the Mozilla plug-ins test. That might fix your problem if your home page uses Flash such as a news site.
Find updates for installed plugins at www.mozilla.com/plugincheck/mozilla.com/plugincheck
plugin page keeps coming up: see https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/832793 particularly the replies near the end (different replies for different users).

How do I disable Plugin Check?

How do I disable this new "feature?"
* It opens up a new tab on startup that I don't want.
* The check doesn't even work half the time.
* Most of the plugins it finds are "unknown" (despite the fact that I know where every one of them came from!)
* It doesn't register that I've already updated all the plugins that it can find
* And in case anybody from this plugin check project is reading this, please, ''please'' add in a way to stop this check from running on startup. I know you want to help, but you're just annoying the userbase.

I had no luck with other alleged solutions, and one I tried caused Adobe Flash Player to screw up (as others have reported elsewhere). Here’s what I did to help alleviate (not solve) the Plugin Check problem:
1. Type “about:config” (without quotes) in your web address box and hit return. This should take you to a (not-so-secret) Firefox configuration page that lists the many Firefox settings.
2. If you first get a warning message, click the "I'll be careful, I promise!" button. Do be careful not to mess up any settings unintentionally. (The worst scenario might be that you have to re-install Firefox—do you have your preferred Firefox version [e.g., 3.6] setup file saved somewhere? You may want to download it first, to be safe.)
3. Once on the about:config page, in the “Filter” box at the top type “plugins.update” (again, no quotes). This should reduce the visible list down to only two (or so) settings. (Don’t worry--doing this does not change or remove anything, just makes the list you see more manageable. The full list will still be there if you remove the filter.)
4. Double-click on the “plugins.update.url” setting line to change the address “https://www.mozilla.com/%LOCALE%/plugincheck/” to anything else you want, for example “http://www.google.com”, or “http://my.ebay.com”, or your homepage address. Then exit Firefox (there is no "save" action needed).
Now when you start Firefox again you will have two tabs, one with your homepage and one with that other address in place of the Plugin Check page. This doesn’t solve the problem, but at least you do not have to look at the annoying Plugins Check page. (You can always put the original address back in the about:config page if you do want to see the Plugin Check page.) If you make the address your homepage, you’ll have two homepage tabs and can ignore or delete the second one.
Let’s hope a real solution (for FF 3.6 users) is found soon. I suspect that Mozilla wants everyone to switch to Firefox 4, which may be the real answer. Annoying.

How can I disable Safemode in Firefox 24.2.0

Hi
We use FFox in a corporate environment due to issues with IE on certain intranet pages.
The existing version 17 had a number of files that we used to customise and lock down firefox, ie preventing users going in in safe mode etc.
These files no longer appear to be present in v24.2.0
I need to prevent users from pressing the shift key and entering ffox in safemode as they could disable/remove the plugins we use to assist locking down the application.
Can someone please advise on how I can achieve this in this version.
thanks

How to install vlc-plugin for firefox?

I know the vlc-plugin package has been removed a while ago.
How can the vlc plugin be installed and used?
I have vlc installed, but the vlc plugin isn't shown in firefox's about:addons.
I checked both the wiki and the forums, but couldn't find any helpful information.

it was removed with a reason. is not compatible with ff 4 and up. upstream removed from vlc in the next version(1.2) and is in a separate repo.

if you want to use it, just do a new build and upload into aur

How to Remove Disabled Add-ons

Working add-ons can be removed easily with a single button - whereas, disabled ones are not presented in the Add-on Manager with a means for removal.
Seems an oversight; but in any event, with nothing in the FAQs about removing disabled add-ons, I'm hoping someone will point the way to add-on handling details

Of course I tried uninstalling via the original install route in the originating program before coming here. ¡D ooh! There's no apparent effect.
Specifics:
* extension: Firefox '''''Synchronization''''' Extension 1.7.110.333
* purpose: enables '''''Nokia Suite''''' to synchronize bookmarks and web feeds with Firefox
* originator: Nokia Suite ''3.3.89''
* Ff version: '''''12.0'''''
* computer: ''hp pavilion notebook'' ze5200
* OS: '''''MS Windows 7''''' ultimate SP1 fully patched
Any clues?

How can I disable prompts for Firefox updates on a Terminal Server (Citrix)?

Does any know how I can disable updates and update prompting in Citrix for Firefox 3.6?
I've got a 3rd party application that has lots of problems in Firefox 4, so I can't upgrade at this time. I just want to stop users from getting this prompt.

Thank you for the quick reply, but I've already tried that, it only affects the one user that un-checks the box. All other users still get prompted.
I'm trying to avoid having to have every single user go through this process.

How to remove/disable ETag in sharepoint?

I want to remove / disable the Etags generated for static content like JS and CSS files

Why? Generally it only impacts caching and even then it's more of a theoretical impact as any load balancing should be done with sticky sessions. However this blog explains the process to strip some of them out.

How can i disable scrolling on firefox mobile ?

I want to disable scrolling for my responsive website, when a colorbox (like a lightbox) is layered over the page (as div, not as iframe).
Scrolling should only be available for the colorbox-div, but not for body or html.
Therefore, I set "html" and/or "body" to "overflow:hidden" with the help of jquery. That works in chromium mobile and in the desktop versions of FF and chromium, but I can't figure out why I still have the scrollbar in Firefox on Android.
Is this a know 'problem'? What can I do?

How do I disable autocorect in Firefox

I want to know how to disable Autocorrect in Firefox

Seems you need the feature as much as I do, but it is not in Firefox.
By default Firefox does not check spelling on single line text boxes either.
What do you type that automatically gets corrected, because I've never seen it happen in Firefox. Are you perhaps using an external editor. Is this at a particular website.
I can't find an add-on for that at addons.mozilla.org either.
