I need to create a script to remove Firefox extensions having certain names from the Mac version of Firefox. Is there any built-in functionality for this that I can access via AppleScript or a shell script? Or will I need to manually parse and remove files from either the Firefox or Mozilla folders in the user's Application Support folder? If the latter, is there any documentation that you can point me to for how this might be done?

Thanks in advance!

I think you need to remove manualy all the extensions.

You can inspect the extensions.installCache pref via the prefs.js file in the profile folder to see which extensions are installed and their location.

To see what it looks like, you can paste the content of this pref in the Scratchpad (Firefox/Tools > Web Developer) and click the "Pretty Print" button.
