    3. Select the plugin/module you want to delete and choose More
    4. There you will see some info about the plugin/module.Look at Folder/File (there you will see a .dll file).

you can also type about:plugins into the address bar, this will show you the exact path to the plugin's .dll files.

Note that Firefox scans the registry to find plugins.
