Hi whats the best way of deleting 'McAfee Scriptscan for Firefox 14.4.1' extension when there's no remove button?

If it's a plugin rather than an extension the following (from here) may work:

Manually uninstalling a plugin

If you can't use an uninstaller program to remove a plugin, you can remove it manually:

1 In the Location bar, type about:config and press EnterReturn.
- The about:config "This might void your warranty!" warning page may appear. Click I'll be careful, I promise!, to continue to the about:config page.

2 Search for the preference: plugin.expose_full_path.

3 Double-click on the plugin.expose_full_path preference in the list to change the value to true.

4 Enter about:plugins into the Location bar to display the About Plugins page.

5 Each entry in the About Plugins page will have "File name:" followed by a path. Use Windows Explorer to navigate to the folder shown for the plugin you want to remove.

6 Rename the file to something other than its normal name - e.g. npswf32 becomes Xnpswf32

7 Double-click on the plugin.expose_full_path preference in the list on the about:config page to change the value back to false to avoid exposing the plugin path to websites.

The plugin will be removed.

Who knows? It might work on extensions as well.
