How Do I Uninstall An Add-ON?

Unread post by pmark020 » 2023-03-12, 05:00

When I install an add-on and the results are not what was advertisted (move tab/menu bar to the right for example), how do I uninstall the add-on?
Thanks in advance for any suggestions.

From the addons manager, which is under Tools->Addons, or by pressing Ctrl-Shift-A, or by opening a new tab, typing about:addons in the addressbar and pressing enter.

Thanks MoonBat! (I actually stumbled on a solution when I installed Chuck Bakers add-on conflict tool, but forgot how I got there as soon as I removed the addon I was trying to get rid of.) Very pleased you supplied a correct solution.

Just removing an add-on can leave traces behind.
I don't know just how thorough this is:
caa:addon/clean-uninstall/versions
but it does, with some add-ons, show more than only the the basic item.
