THANKS really great app, seems to work just fine in FF 10x and I hope the developer will please continue on with the development of this addon.

I've seen nothing better than this and we really need something like this to clean up after addon removal...

THANKS

First I would like to say what a great add-on it is. It is indispensable part of both My FF and Thunderbird. That is why I was disappointed, when I upgraded my Thunderbird to 9.0.1, to find out that is longer works with the recent version of the e-mail client. Can you please make this great add-on compatible with it. Thank you.

the app is good, but if it could automatically detect removed addon's left over that would be great.

This is an essential piece of equipment in keeping the build up of useless dross from conflicting with other add-ons. Respectfully request that this become a permanent add-on in future builds of Firefox. May need a better form of i.d.ing which extensions belong to which add-ons, so a more positive removal can be performed without removing the wrong values.

Useful Add-On to get rid of garbage left by no longer used Add-Ons.
One feature I miss is to delete Add-Ons that are installed by 3rd companies (like Antivirus Add-On or Skype Add-On).
Although I un-installed my Antivirus program, the Add-On is still in Firefox and can not be uninstalled (just disabled).
It also would be useful to display the disk space (KB) that will be removed.

This little jewel worked magic on my installation of FF7.0.1. Seemed that my FF had gotten quite sluggish and it would take quite a while to load pages and links. I figured that my add-ons might be to blame so I cleaned all of them up and found some traces of add-ons that had long since been removed. Worked like a charm...back to smooth surfing...thanks!

add-ons leaving traces of registry garbage behind them has always been kind of a Firefox flaw.

Thanks to this add-on I have some peace of mind, knowing my privacy and browser performance aren't big concerns after trying new extensions.

Isn't it what Firefox is all about? Thanks to the developer for taking the time.

Works great and excellent new addition to Firefox Add-ons on AMO....For me cleaning up the left over preferences of 10 or more Add-ons gave my first run Fx Startup a 10% performance boost from my previous about:startup variables.

I also agree with what 'Foxtail' stated in his review below, for me to identify some of the add-ons in the list eCleaner provides I had to paste the add-ons {GUID} or abr.(name) here:

Even though I take care in cleaning prefs.js after removing an add-on, eCleaner still found old dust, even an inconsistency I've been moving with for several years :)Developers : your work for bringing up Firefox add-ons is appreciated by all (you participate to the success of Firefox) but please, please, please : give to your extensions' data names in accordance with that of your add-on and, in particular, avoid digital names à la {juujej5558dshhe99ccjhhhdhdh} which are a real pain when you have to clean-up, as well as abbreviations (MAF for Mozilla Archive Format is maybe obvious when you have 3 add-ons and/or after install, but after some time and 60 extensions, it is a pain as well. Also, please, do not dispatch within several names data for the same add-on (I've seen an add-on with 3 unrelated names in prefs.js).This said, thanks again to all mighty developers!

this is exactly what i needed to get rid of the over 1000 prefs left over when i uninstalled "https everywhere"! quick and easy - i definitely recommend this.
note that the extension names in the list aren't always clear, but this issue is unrelated to this add-on. best if you have some idea what you are looking for.
