This is not just one particular add-on but several. One example of this is the add-on Hyperword. When I uninstalled it I used the Uninstall-button in the extensions window. I think that there should be some sort of check or something for old preferences when uninstalling a add-on. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a extension 2. Uninstall it 3. Check about:config for preferences from it Actual Results: The preferences are still there Expected Results: The preferences should be gone
I would guess => duplicate of bug 258301
