Extension Uninstaller 0.2

What is Extension Uninstaller?

This extension provides a friendly user interface for uninstalling any extension installed in Mozilla, Firefox and Thunderbird.

Until now you there wasn't an easy way to uninstall extensions from your browser or email client, except for doing it manually. This automatically uninstalls any extension installed in Mozilla, Firefox or Thunderbird.

How is this extension different than other uninstallers?

Currently there are a handful of uninstaller extensions out there, why should you use this one? From my research there are currently 2 types of uninstallers: THE jslib uninstaller API, and the extensions that use it. The extensions that use it, or "wrapper" extensions, just provide a nice user interface to the jslib's API. In my experiences, the jslib uninstaller always crashes when I try to uninstall something in Firefox. It also closes all your browser windows, so you have to stop what you're doing.

I have built this uninstaller from the ground up, trying to make it as versitile and complete as I can. In my tests it doesn't crash and you don't have to stop what you're doing to use it. The uninstaller completely uninstalls content, skins and locales associated with the targeted extension.

How do I use it?

1. After it is installed, click, Tools > Extension Uninstaller.
2. When the dialog appears, find the extension in the list that you would like to uninstall.
3. Click "Uninstall" and then "OK" to the confirmation dialog
4. The next dialog will tell you if the uninstall was successfull or not. Click "View Log" if you want see what the uninstaller did.
5. Restart your browser to complete the uninstall process.
