Hi tsiebold, I'm glad you found a solution for your problem and thank you for sharing it.
However, you re-installed Firefox and the add-on was still activated? You probably didn't delete all "user settings" upon un-install.
Another option which may help is to start Firefox in "safe mode" and disabling the add-on, then restarting Firefox.
To start Firefox in Safe Mode, simply go to your Start menu and find the Mozilla Firefox directory, inside you should find "Mozilla Firefox" and "Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)"
If you are unable to un-install an extension, even after restarting Firefox in Safe Mode:
Go to your profile folder and open the "extensions" directory. Each directory there is an extension. Remove the directory that corresponds to the extension you want to un-install.
If an add-on directory there does not have a meaningful name, look inside it for its "install.rdf" file. Open that file in a text editor (like Notepad) to see which extension the directory contains. Alternatively, in the parent folder, "extensions.rdf" contains a list of extensions, their names and corresponding GUIDs.
