[Bug 246694] Re: Can Not Uninstall Add-Ons
step 1. Please cd into ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default step 2. rm extensions.* step 3. restart firefox step 4. comment on this bug if it didnt work and please explain why it didnt work. also comment if it worked. there is another dir. to remove but i would like to see if this works first. step 5. If it leaves you with no extenions please install one by one than remove them one by one to see what one is causing issues. HOTE: there are ways of screwing firefox up if you dont follow the above exactly as typed. This will only work on extensions seeing as plugins are housed somewhere else but to remove plugins you can "sudo apt-get remove --purge nameofplugin" replace nameofplugin with the package name. -- Can Not Uninstall Add-Ons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Thanks a lot for your reply. >ls /usr/lib/mozilla extensions plugins >ls /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins (nothing found here) and sorry for the other part (~/.mozilla/*.default/pluginreg.dat) I don't know where to find this file. Please tell me how to find it and I will get it attached here. I found this file under /home/alfayez/.mozilla/firefox/vkuuxfit.default (is this the one needed?)

[Bug 246694] Re: Can Not Uninstall Add-Ons
I need a list of what you have in /usr/lib/mozilla and usr/lib/mozilla/plugins before i can tell you exatcy what to remove you may have libflashsupport or gnash in there that may be keeping it there. Maybe check in ~/.mozilla/*.default/pluginreg.dat can you please attach that file to this bug report so i can look to see why its still there. Im wondering if you have swf packages installed that is another one that will keep shockwave IIRC. -- Can Not Uninstall Add-Ons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 246694] Re: Can Not Uninstall Add-Ons
Thank you John but the flashplugin-nonfree has been previously removed using Synaptic Package Manager. I found the /usr/lib/mozilla/plugins/flashplugin-alternative.so and removed it. Then I restarted the Firefox but I still see both of them (Shockwaves as seen on my attached file I added on my first post). -- Can Not Uninstall Add-Ons https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/246694 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Hello sharshabl, as far as I know plugins can only be disabled not uninstalled. It's a bit different to extensions. (as plugins are installed as root?!)
