Some people asks How to delete Add-ons from Firefox.Now, i found a easy solution. Follow the steps : 

    1. Go to Menu > Add-ons,
    2. Press Modules
    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).
    5. Go to Start,and write the .dll's name (on Search programs and files) and delete it.

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.
