Uninstalling add-ons

"How do I uninstall extensions in Mozilla Firebird?"

Until the uninstall feature for extensions is implemented (bug 170006), use this procedure as a workaround:

1. Exit Mozilla Firebird. 2. Change to the chrome dir of your Mozilla Firebird application directory. 3. Delete chrome.rdf and the overlayinfo dir (they are regenerated on next start). 4. Delete [extension].jar (or the [extension] dir, if it's used unpacked). 5. Remove every line with a reference to [extension] 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 example has a tabextensions.js in [Phoenix dir]/defaults/pref to store its defaults in. Search through your app dir for such files and delete them. 7. Restart Mozilla Firebird.

It's probably a good idea to make backups of the files/dirs before deleting/changing them to be able to restore the status quo in case anything goes wrong.
