While trying to remove a couple of plugins I found some other entries in about:config which worried me a little. Can anyone give me some more information on these, why they are there and the origin of their names? Please find the 3 items below:

They relate to extensions that have been installed at some time, the entries are automatically created when an extension is installed. Extensions have an identification code that the Firefox add-on manager uses, many extensions use an email address as the id.

The first is for an extension called Grabstream, Manish Jain will be a developer for that extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/grabstream/

The second is for the Flash Video Downloader (Youtube Downloader) extension, Artur Dubovoy will be a developer for that extension - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/flash-video-downloader-youtube/

The last one is for an extension installed as part of the Nokia PC Suite, the extension is the "PC Sync 2 Synchronisation Extension"
