There probably is an easier solution in the successor to the Mozilla Suite,SeaMonkey. Phil is a SeaMonkey guru so I've cc'd him. Phil, does SeaMonkeyinclude the Extension Manager or similar component(s) for friendly extension uninstallation?

Thanks Eric!



I wrote an extension Uninstall for Mozilla a couple years and it was very
difficult and it involved modifying files and all sorts of stuff. I was
hoping someone would have come up with an easier solution by now.

Oops. Hit send too early.
For Firefox, use nsIExtensionManager.uninstallItem(). See:
http://www.xulplanet.com/references/...onManager.html
Mozilla will be much more difficult as there's no EM. Not sure how you can
do it programmatically without invoking an install script (deleting the
extension's directories may/may not work--maybe someone else can comment?)

Subject: Firefox Extension Uninstall - and Mozilla

Hi Everybody,



I am creating an extension where there must be a menu itemto uninstall the
extension. In other words, besides the normal extensionuninstall, there
needs to be an additional menu item to uninstall the extension. What is the
recommended way to programmatically uninstall the extension within Firefox?



Additionally this extension will have towork in the Mozilla browser also.
What is the recommended method to uninstall extensions programmatically in
Mozilla?



Any help or suggestions are greatly appreciated.



Thanks,

Tom -
