hiding the "Set As Wallpaper" item can be done by adding a style="display:none" attribute with an XUL overlay.

or you can just use my MenuTweaker extension (see the "two ideas for extension" thread)

Thanks, I saw MenuTweaker after I made QuickTools.
Please put MenuTweaker at MozDev, with Screenshots. (with an extensionroom entry)
Then I can suggest to people, use MenuTweaker. I feel that will be better than mine.

People are using FrontPage because there is no other alternative. And web will be Incorrect HTMLs

I tried to download Quicktools and Quickmanager into Thunderbird. They ended up in the Firefox extension list and now I cannot delete them. Can anyone help?

Thanks

I think reinstalling or updating firefox will remove old version of extensions. If it dont work try following. But first please wait for a second opinion before doing the following

I tried and found following way I can remove old extensions.
I tested it on
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.8b2) Gecko/20050326 Firefox/1.0+

No guarantee it will work in other version.


Assuming you have installed to your profile dir

1. backup your profile dir
By default it is at
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_ID\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\

2. go to the user chrome dir
C:\Documents and Settings\YOUR_USER_ID\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\xxxxxx99999.default\chrome

3. delete QuickManager.jar and QuickTools.jar

4. restart firefox

5. if you find trouble to restart you have to restore old profile dir from backup

Warning: for the feed QuickManager, I depended on extensionroom project. But that feed is not maintained now. So you are not a developer you can avoid install QuickManager till I find another way to get latest feed.

Sorry for the trouble.

Did you try Fx Safe Mode? - your extensions will be disabled but you can uninstall 'em from there.
PS. This thread has been dead for .... almost 2 years!...

Autocharacter Encoding does not work on Firefox 1.5 -- This poses as a big issue for malayalam-firefox readers. Is it going to be updated anytime?
