Why no Remove option?

I have spent a lot of time searching for a way to remove plugins. I have found lots of work-rounds and lots of people criticising this lack of a built in option.
Allowing plugins to be silently install is a security risk and causes stability issues. So would some one from Mozilla like to explain their reasons for belligerently refusing to provide an option to remove plugins?
If you feel I am being rude for using the word "belligerently", then perhaps you would like to explain. This issue was first raised with version 6 of FireFox, if not before. I am currently using version 12. And still no remove function.

Since your problem is one-specific issue (in your case, it's Plugins) can you use only one of your thread ?
* you other thread is -> https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/927701
* (btw i have replied in your other thread)
Stay in one thread so we don't need to cross-reference replies that we post in your multiple threads..

  • Dust Removal option is not existing !!!

    hii have lenovo y 50 and energy manager 1.5.0.16and i have win 8,1 there is no fan dust removal option!please help me whats a problem?thanks alot

    Well, I can tell you why there is no such option anymore or to be precise why they removed this option. I am a self taught computer technician and in my years of experience I have seen countless cases where the poor ventilation system and design (very small in size and very few in number air inlet grills), were the main reasons that caused a critical hardware failure. In most cases it's the graphics card (GPU) that will suffer the damage. And as we all know, laptops and notebooks in most cases have onboard - integrated graphics cards/chips, soldered on the motherboard. So, when you go to a repair shop they will tell you that you either have to replace the mainboard (with a cost almost as much as to buy a new laptop), or to buy a new laptop. What would you choose? They will not bother to repair it because it's a difficult repair that requires skills and equipment that most of them don't have. Interestingly, it always happens shortly after the warranty has expired. I'm pretty sure it's not a coincidence and I'm telling this because I have seen laptops where all the other components were soldered with lead free solder while the gpu was soldered with common, lead based solder that has a lower melting point. I can't believe that they are capable of producing such marvelous technological things as the today's processors (CPUs) with one hundred billion transistors in a space no larger than a fingernail or ultra-small SMT (Surface Mount Technology) chip capacitors and tactile switches while on the other hand, they are not able to make a fan spin faster or to find an effective way to attach the GPU chip to the motherboard. Come on guys... Please note that the Lenovo laptop that I'm currently working on has a four-wire fan which means that the fan speed can be controlled with an appropriate driver or BIOS update. Until Lenovo and other big companies change their way of thinking and their policy, my advice to my clients would be...stay away from these products and brands.

  • Time Machine not backing up 2nd external drive, remove option grayed out

    I have two external hard drives, 300gb (firewire) and 500gb (usb). Time Machine is backing up to the 300gb. In Time Machine's options, the 500gb is excluded from being backed up, and the remove option is grayed out.
    The 300gb Time Machine Backup drive is formatted as Mac OS Extended. The 500gb drive is formatted as MS-DOS (FAT32).
    I know the backup drive needs to be formatted as Mac OS Extended, but will it not even back up other drives that are FAT32?

    I am having a similar problem. I initially set it up 3 days ago and had it back up just the iMac to Time Capsule (about 120 GB) which it did no problem (I initially had my LaCie drive excluded). I then un-excluded my other drive, where all my photos and music reside (about 130 GB). Since then, it keeps trying to back up about 102 GB each time. Looking at the list of backups it does not appear that it has ever successfully backed up the LaCie. I am not aware of any error messages, but I have not been home much. I normally shut down the computer at night but I have been leaving it on trying to let Time Machine do its thing. All I can say is that every time I am at the computer TM is running and it always looks like it is in the middle of backing up 102 GB (usually seems to be near the beginning, never seem to see it more than halfway done). Looking at the TM panel it says the latest backup was 2 days ago. I'd appreciate any advice!

  • What, exactly, are 'encoded assets'? Why does removing them resolve problems? How can they be avoided in the first place?

    What, exactly, are 'encoded assets'? Why does removing them resolve problems? How can they be avoided in the first place?

    As I understand it, encoding fomats your digital video clips and photos (assets) into Standard DVD mp2 format so that it can be burned to a DVD.  If there has been an error in the encoding process, then you remove the old encoded assets and start over.  There are numberous reasons why there can be errors in the encoding process. 

  • Why not remove safari from OSX, Firefox and Chrome have surpassed it completely in functionality and usability?

    To be honest the whole safari thing is always going to be a running joke to everyone.
    Safari cant play embedded videos or loads of the content on youtube because of Apple insistence to lock it to only use thier version of flash, why not remove it all together and have a browser choice like Windows has this would at least give the users a chance to get a browser that is fully functional?

    This one fails in Safari with 'This video is currently unavailable' here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ievjHzSB_ek
    This one works: http://www.youtube.com/user/RockstarGamesGB?v=kDk1eOflyCk
    It seems certain videos still fail in safari but run perfectly in Firefox, Chrome, Opera heck even the browser I coded myself works fine.

  • TO NOKIA: Why no 4G option in unbranded roms like ...

    TO NOKIA: Why no 4G option in unbranded roms like the greek one?
    When the 4g firmware will be available.
    Why someone must not be able to choose between 3g and 4g in un branded sim free phones?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    When using a 4G/LTE enabled phone in countries where 4G/LTE networks are not yet deployed or still under construction, there may be issues with calls, SMS, or data connection. In worst cases the phone SIM may be rejected by the network.
    In line with this, when a Nokia Lumia 920 is purchased in a country where 4G/LTE network is not yet enabled by the operator, the devices will be shipped pre-configured to 3G network connectivity to avoid these problems.
    If 4G/LTE networks become available later, it is possible to enable the capability with an over-the-air software update. However, I am sorry to say that there is no information on when this particular over the air software update will become available for a specific device.

  • Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5? I want to choose "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net" but Firefox won't let me.

    In the previous version of Firefox one could choose to save tabs so that when Firefox opened, all the tabs from the previous sessions appeared. This was done in Settings > Options > General > Startup. In the menu for the "When Firefox Starts" one had the option for "Windows and tabs that where opened last time you accessed the net." in Firefox 5.0, this menu is gray and not clickable. Help, please?

    ''Why are the options for "When Firefox starts" NOT clickable in Firefox 5?"
    Possibly you are not saving your "browsing history" which is what the session history is tied into.
    '''Not saving History''' -- check your settings for '''Tools > options > Privacy'''', make sure you are not clearing more than just cache in "Settings for Clearing History"
    * http://img232.imageshack.us/img232/4928/clearcachew.png
    * clearing your history at end of session, cache is the only one you would want to clear at end of session, if you don't want to lose things
    There are several things that are related to private browsing and not saving History
    * Private Browsing Ctrl+Shift+P
    * You selected "Never remember history" in first drop-down of Tools > Options Privacy and all of the check marks disappear (See picture above)
    * "Permanent private browsing mode" was check-marked under "Use custom settings for history" in the first drop-down of Tools > options > Privacy (see picture above)

  • How do I remove the ZoneAlarm toolbar? (It's currently disabled, but there's no "Remove" option.)

    I'm running FF9 beta in Windows XP -- the ZoneAlarm security toolbar (which I never wanted but was somehow installed anyway) shows up in the extension list as disabled due to incompatibility with Firefox version 9. I'd prefer to just remove the toolbar/addon entirely, but there's no "Remove" option. How do I get rid of it?
    Thanks.

    ZoneAlarm version 10.1.079.000 is compatible with Firefox 9 (and is not compatible with any other Firefox version) --- very strange that they have made the last few ZoneAlarm versions each compatible with only one version of Firefox.
    *See --> http://forums.zonelabs.com/index.php
    The toolbar unfortunately installs even when un-checked during the install of ZoneAlarm. There are several postings on their forum about that issue. There is also a plugin related to ZoneAlarm that installs, '''''npFFApi'''''. Search the Zone Alarm forum or ask questions about all of this on their forum.

  • I am unable to remove some addons/extension as i dnt see only disable option n nt the remove option there. What should i do?

    There are some addons/extensions which are not compatible with my current version of mozilla. I am seeing the "type error: components.classes[cid]" evry time while starting the firefox. So, i want to remove those incompatible addons. Those are google gears 0.5.36.0,speed boat video downloader2.2.9,widgi toolbar flatform4.4,you tube downloader toolbar 4.4. I went to tools>options>manage addons. But i cant see remove option for above mentioned addons, only disable option i am seeing. What should i do then?

    Those extensions were probably installed like plug-ins and since you see them as extensions you will probably have to uninstall each of them through the Control Panel, see directions for various systems in
    * http://code.google.com/apis/gears/install.html
    If that solves your problem, please mark as solved or post which ones did not uninstall. Very important since I don't see similar questions and marked as solved helps people find solutions.
