Uninstall search plugins

This article applies to Firefox and Mozilla Suite.

This article describes how to remove search plugins from the Search Bar.

Manual removal

1. With Mozilla Suite or Firefox closed, open the searchplugins folder location in:
   • Firefox 1.5, default search plugins: Installation directory
   • Firefox 1.5, custom search plugins: Profile folder
   • Firefox versions previous to 1.5: Installation directory
   • Mozilla Suite: Installation directory
2. Delete both .src and .gif or .png for the plugins you want to delete. For example, if you want to get rid of the default Google search plugin, you would delete "google.src" and "google.gif".
3. Restart the application and deleted plugins will be gone.
4. If you uninstalled a search plugin because it was broken, please go to the Mycroft Homepage and "judge" this plugin.
