    How To Remove WebEx Extension Warning in firefox

    I just started getting a warning in the firefox toolbar that webwx extension needs new permissions. I used webex just a little bit, over a year ago, and then stopped using it. Now I suddenly get this warning in the firefox toolbar. I went into firefox extension - webex was already marked “disabled”. So I deleted the extension but I’m still getting this warning about it. How do I get rid of this warning?

    Get the Everything Search Engine.

    Copy and paste. [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)] [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]browser-extension-data into the search window.
    Hit enter, double click on the folder.
    find [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Webwx delete it.

    Then type [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)].xpi into the everything search window.
    Find [COLOR=rgb(184, 49, 47)]Webwx and delete.

    Then restart the browser.[/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR][/COLOR]

      I installed Everything Search and searched .xpi. There are a few dozen results but reading through them I don’t see anything that says “Webwx”.

          why not just remove the extension in Firefox via Settings > Extensions and Themes > click … for your extension > Remove

                Apparently after the next time I re-started my computer after deleting the extension was what Firefox needed. Now it’s gone. Thank you Bruce and Malnutrition. And I appreciate your telling me about Everything Search.
