I use Firefox as a secondary browser. I installed "Bring me Sports" by Mindspark Interactive and I want to remove it. I installed it through Firefox and it is not showing up in my start menu. I use Windows Vista and my primary browser is Internet Explorer 9.

Programs and plug-ins are third-party software. You uninstall them from the Windows Control Panel.

Add-ons like extensions and themes are uninstalled from Firefox.

  1. To open the Add-ons Manager, press the ≡ Menu Button and choose Add-ons, or press Ctrl+Shift+A.
  2. Click Extensions on the left.
  3. Click the Remove button next to the extension you want to uninstall.
  4. Restart Firefox for the change to take effect.
