Disable the Firefox plugin delay

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Tired of waiting on the timer when installing a Firefox extension? I was, so I typed in about:config into the address bar and added the following preference with a value of 0:

security.dialog_enable_delay

Hurray, no more delay :)

Removing the AVG Safe Search extension in Firefox

Wednesday, October 8th, 2008

Having a problem with the AVG Safe Search plugin? You can’t uninstall it because the Uninstall button is greyed out? Yea, Grisoft decided to install this extension and not allow users to remove it… I always hate that.

Sure you can disable it, but i wanted it GONE. Here is how… open regedit, and browse to:

KEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Mozilla\Firefox\Extensions

delete:

{3f963a5b-e555-4543-90e2-c3908898db71}

Restart Firefox and your done :)
