Uninstall
That, Please
We here at WorldStart
like to share many different Firefox extensions and Greasemonkey scripts
with you so that you can try them out and see what's useful. Sometimes
you may like what we recommend and other times, you may not. And that’s
okay! Well, today, I’m going to show you how to uninstall any
of those Firefox extensions and Greasemonkey scripts you just don't
really care for. Let's get started!
Firefox
Extensions
Uninstalling a
Firefox extension is fairly simple. Just follow the steps below:
1.) First, open
up your Firefox Web browser.
2.) From the top
menu bar, select Tools.
3.) Scroll down
and select Add Ons.
4.) Next, click on the Extensions button. A list
of all your installed extensions will then appear.
5.) Depending
on how many extensions you have installed, you may need to scroll
down to find the one you want to remove.
6.) Once you find
the right one, click on its icon and the proper buttons will then
appear.
7.) Select the Uninstall button and then confirm
your action by hitting Uninstall once again.
8.) This notification will then be displayed: "This add
on will be uninstalled when Firefox is restarted."
9.) Now, all you have to do is close out Firefox and open it again.
Presto! The add on has been removed. You can then do the same thing
for any others you'd like to uninstall.
Greasemonkey
Scripts
To get rid of
an unwanted Greasemonkey script, just follow these simple directions:
1.) Open Firefox
and right click on the Greasemonkey logo in the lower right hand corner.
2.) A menu will
then appear. Select Manage User Scripts.
3.) On the right hand side, click on the Greasemonkey script you want
to uninstall.
4.) Next, select
the script and press Uninstall.
5.) The script
will then be removed instantly!
That's all there
is to it. I hope this one has helped you out!
