How To Uninstall Old Versions of Java Console from your Firefox addons

[LookinAround]

OK. Here's a tidbit I just discovered and learned about Firefox (in general) and the FF Java Console addon (in particular) I thought i'd share

When you look at your Firefox addon extensions (Tools->Addons) under Windows 7 or Vista you may find (see image below)

• When you update your Java, old versions of the FF Java Console addons weren’t uninstalled from FF (note I have 2 old versions of Java Console in example below)
• The Uninstall button for the FF addon is dimmed! (so you can’t uninstall it!)

​

Turns out the solution is simple

• Close all your FF windows
• Now start FF again using rt click to Run as administrator
  > Rt click Start->All Programs->Mozzilla Firefox, select Run as administrator
• The Uninstall button for the addon should now work!
