WCaptureX is part of WordWeb and not a Firefox add-on. Why it's showing up and why it's on my list I don't know. I have disabled it thinking th at would remove it. It hasn't. I can't go into the registry and delete it for then my WordWeb is not functional. I would like to have it gone from Firefox. OS: Windows XP SP3 and latest updates. Browser: FF 5.0.1

wcapturex is installed by freeware called Word Web.

See there :http://www.pcqanda.com/dc/dcboard.php?az=show_topic&forum=2&topic_id=532930&mode=full

"WordWeb will Install an Add-on called WCaptureX in your Add-ons. Short of Reinstalling FireFox, there is no way possible to Remove it. That includes Uninstalling WordWeb."

Try to find it in the registry and remove it manually.
