[plugin stuff]

Drat, mea culpa. Too many names for similar concepts. Then you might want
to look at /usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions/ .
/usr/lib/mozilla-firefox/extensions/Extensions.rdf is text, maybe it's
useful. Check out "locate exten | grep fire | grep usr". Really I'm
grasping at straws; I haven't played with FF's internals. You might also
look "grep FLST ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/extensions/*/install.js" to
get the nasty long number FF uses to refer to stuff internally, then try
moving or renaming ~/.mozilla/firefox/*.default/extensions/(that dir).

Probably not.

In the short term, but if you back stuff up you can put it back if it acts
badly.
