Uninstall Firefox extensions

@ 13:02

No kun tabbrowser on ihan mukava, mutta jotenkin vain oli enemmän kotonaan siinä vanhassa mallissa, on aika uninstallata se ennen kuin tottuu siihen liiaksi eikä paluuta entiseen enää ole koska muuallakin joutuisi sitten Firefoxin ohella tuon asentamaan aina.

Firefoxin laajennuksia ei voi uninstallata, mikä on bugi, mutta siihen on silti ohjeet:

  1. Exit Mozilla Firefox.
  2. Browse to the "chrome" directory of your Mozilla Firefox application directory.
  3. Delete "chrome.rdf" and the "overlayinfo" directory (they will regenerated on next Firefox startup).
  4. Delete [extensionname].jar (or the [extensionname] directory, if it has one).
  5. Remove every line with a reference to [extensionname] from "installed-chrome.txt". Usually there are two: one to the content and one to the locale.
  6. A few extensions might use additional files. TBE, for examplem has a "tabextensions.js" in "[/path/to/firefox]/defaults/pref/" to store its defaults in. Search through your application dir for such files and delete them.
  7. Restart Mozilla Firefox.


Note: The procedure above applies only to extensions that are installed in the application directory. To remove extensions from the profile, your safest course of action is to create a new profile and transfer over files from the previous one.
