I added Google Translator to Mozilla but didn't like it. Now I can't get rid of it. When I print something it prints a separate page with little symbols.

How do I get rid of the add-on Google Translator. I downloaded it but would like to get rid of it. There doesn't seem to be anyway to delete it. For some reason it causes my printer to print a page with the symbols that show along the side of the translation screen.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for translators.
