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. browser-extension-data into the search window.
Hit enter, double click on the folder.
find Webwx delete it.


Then type .xpi into the everything search window.
Find Webwx and delete.

Then restart the browser.

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
 
She said she removed it from there already,
 
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.
