I have Firefox add on's such as Weather-bug and Reminder. I want to know if these add on's can slow down my computer. They seem to be doing that. And, if I need to delete these add-on's from my computer. How would I go about doing that?

Thank You,

Gary W. Luster

In addition to the information that I have sent above. I also, entered my e-mail address on one of these forums. I made a mistake in doing that. Please remove my e-mail address. I do not want it to become public knowledge.

Thank You.

Just to the right of your post, you should see an "Edit this post" link. Click that, and then next to the subject text just above the message text edit box, you should see an "edit" link. Use that to remove your email address.

To remove an add-on, go to the Add-ons menu item. In Firefox 4 that's on the FireFox menu (upper left corner of the window). In older versions it's on the Tools menu. Then you want to choose the Extensions tab, and find the add-on you want to remove. It should have a Remove button next to it.

I've edited your subject line and removed the email address.

If I am understanding you right, you said that you removed my e-mail address. If so, thanks....................Gary W. Luster
