      I'm running Firefox 24.0 on F18. It keeps telling me I have an

no button on this extension, as there is on normal ones, to remove it.
How do I just get rid of the whole extension?

      Is there an item or a line in my .mozilla, for instance, where I
can just delete it?
Doesn't the menu work?

         No. That's what I was trying to say above :

There is no button on this extension, as there is on normal ones, to
remove it.
         In fact, Tools > Add-ons takes me to any of two or three places,
but never anywhere that AddBlock has a remove button, but only
Preferences and Disable, although others in the same list do.

If the mozilla-adblockplus package is installed then the extension is
installed under /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/, and you can't update
it from within Firefox, you'd have to wait until that rpm package is
updated.

To remove adblockplus in this case, uninstall mozilla-adblockplus.

Here I see:

[bobg@box10 ~]$ yum list mozilla-adblockplus
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Available Packages
mozilla-adblockplus.noarch 2.4-1.fc19

So I suspect yum remove mozilla-adblockplus would take it out?
