I just installed 2 Add-ons that were immediately blocked by Add-on signing: HTTPS Finder 0.91 Video WithOut Flash 3.1.1 However there is no 'Remove' option so I cannot get rid of them.

I am not sure how much of a problem this is, but would prefer to get rid of them.

All extensions have a remove button. But if you can't find one, then it is a plugin.

Extensions are options you install into Firefox, They can be removed at will. Plugins are from programs that Firefox finds already on your system. The only way to remove a plugin is to remove its program from your system.

I removed the programs from my system. This had no immediate effect. But after a long time the entries suddenly disappeared.
