I want to completely remove the advert ban application. Even though I have the latest Firefox version I cannot access my add-ons. How do I resolve these issues?

You should be able to see the add-ons and plugins by using

  • Tools -> Add-ons (Or you may use keyboard shortcut Ctrl + Shift + A )
    • then once in Add-ons Manager select the tab |extensions| or | plugins|

What is the advert ban application that you refer to ?
this may be some program that was installed on Windows XP and may need to be removed from the control panel of XP, or is it part of a security suite ?

I cannot access my old add-ons when I use tools and go to add-on manager. All I get is ads for new add-ons.

Have you already removed the add-ons !

Do you remember the name correct and full name of the advert ban application ?

Your plugins as listed aside include FlashPlayer and a PDF plugin

I solved the problem by downloading Firefox 8.0, which permitted me to eliminate the Advert add-on.
