What is Extension Uninstaller?:

"This extension provides a friendly user interface for uninstalling any
extension installed in your Mozilla browser.

Until now you there wasn't an easy way to uninstall extensions from your
browser. You would either have to do it manually or "disable" it in
Firefox. This new extension completely uninstalls any extension from your
browser.

How is this extension different than other uninstallers?
Currently there are a handful of uninstaller extensions out there, why
should you use this one? From my research there are currently 2 types of
uninstallers: THE jslib uninstaller API, and the extensions that use it.
The extensions that use it, or "wrapper" extensions, just provide a nice
user interface to the jslib's API. In my experiences, the jslib
uninstaller always crashes when I try to uninstall something in Firefox.
It also closes all your browser windows, so you have to stop what you're
doing.

I have built this uninstaller from the ground up, trying to make it as
versitile and complete as I can. In my tests it doesn't crash and you
don't have to stop what you're doing to use it. The uninstaller
completely uninstalls content, skins and locales associated with the
targeted extension.

How do I use it?
After it is installed, click, Tools > Extension Uninstaller.
When the dialog appears, find the extension in the list that you would
like to uninstall.
Click "Uninstall" and then "OK" to the confirmation dialog
The next dialog will tell you if the uninstall was successful or not.
Click "View Log" if you want see what the uninstaller did.
Restart your browser to complete the uninstall process."

Just a note for FF users:
For FireFox v.0.9 it isn't necessary anymore, because there is an uninstall
feature in the extensions manager.
