Hi Kokolo61, What is it exactly that you are worried about and trying to uninstall ?
If it is Firefox these are the uninstall instructions
Those also explain how to remove the data, but you may wish to either keep that for any further install, or use it and for instance export your bookmarks to an alternative browser.
I do not often use Windows. I can not say I recognise your screenshot, presumably that is not a standard Windows screenshot but from some other utility or tool you have installed.
The Firefox extensions will be deleted if you fully uninstall Firefox and its appdata. Plugins need to be uninstalled and installed separately using Windows control panel or their own installers and uninstallers. Something like MS office may include a Firerfpox plugin, but you will probably not want to uninstall MS Office. Shockwave FlashPlayer on the other hand is a separate plugin for Firefox from what is used on IE & Chrome.
Adobe have an uninstall tool:
