Mozilla – How to uninstall EasyGestures plugin

I keep having to do this on all the PCs I take care of…thought I’d post the instructions here since Mozilla’s sites are so slow right now with people downloading the new versions of stuff.

Here are the steps for manual uninstallation:

(If installed in the program folder)
1. Exit Mozilla Firebird
2. Go to the [chrome] directory of your Mozilla Firebird application directory
3. Delete “chrome.rdf” and the [overlayinfo] directory (they are regenerated on next start)
4. Delete the [easyGestures] directory
5. Remove every line with a reference to easyGestures from “installed-chrome.txt” (there are two: one for the content and one for the locale)
6. Open “prefs.js” file located in your Mozilla Firebird profile directory and delete all lines with a reference to easyGestures
7. Restart Mozilla Firebird

(If installed in the profile folder)
1. Exit Mozilla Firebird
2. Go to the [chrome] directory of your Mozilla Firebird profile directory
3. Delete the [easyGestures] directory
4. Remove every line with a reference to easyGestures from “installed-chrome.txt”, “chrome.rdf” and the [overlayinfo] directory. (there are two: one for the content and one for the locale)
5. Open the “prefs.js” file located in your Mozilla Firebird profile directory and delete all lines with a reference to easyGestures
6. Restart Mozilla Firebird

The Mozilla Firebird profile directory on Windows XP should be like:
[ C:\Documents and Settings\…\Application Data\Phoenix\Profiles\default\8vm46tqc.slt]
