Hi all,

Today I want to share with you this extension, which allows you to uninstall an extension and clean its stored preferences, its fingerprints,etc.

Original description:

Usually when you remove an extension, the extension does not clear its created preferences from pref.js. This leads to increasing size of pref.js after a few extension has been tried out. All this extension does is to listen to the uninstall event and look for the missing preferences. You will get the list of the preferences in a dialog like window to decide whether you want to keep these preferences or not.

Two main functionalities:
1. Notify you about the left preferences upon an extension removal
2. Allow you to clean your Firefox profile by removal old unused preferences left by your old extensions. To access this, go to the options page.

Note that the extension works well with extensions built on top of addon sdk, however it might have problem deling with traditional extensions. If you have found these sort of issues please open a bug report in Issues · rNeomy/clean-uninstall · GitHub

For bug reports use:
Issues · rNeomy/clean-uninstall · GitHub (open a new bug report)
or
Clean Uninstall :: add0n.com (leave a comment in the discussion section)

For more info about how this extension works please visit:
Clean Uninstall :: add0n.com

Homepage: Clean Uninstall :: add0n.com

This extension is avalaible for Mozilla Firefox and Firefox-based browsers.

Thanks for reading ;)
