I installed the boo.ly shopping extension on Firefox 8 (on a Mac). I decided it wasn't what I wanted and removed it using the Add-ons Manager. I was looking at the about:config options (on a different subject) and discovered about a half-dozen settings pertaining to boo.ly that I would like to remove. How?

I had discovered the Reset context item in looking for a Delete function. When I clicked it for each item, the setting value for the item went away but the item remained in the list. It wasn't until I read your response that I went back into about:config and discovered that the items are now gone. Thanks!
