I am trying to figure out a way to automatically uninstall firefox extensions such as Google/Ask/Yahoo toolbars. I am having trouble finding any command line way to go about this that will work with BigFix.

Here is an option for Yahoo Toolbar not installed using an MSI:

wait {value “uninstallstring” of key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Yahoo! Toolbar” of registry} /S

Ask Toolbar (not sure if this is IE/Firefox or both)

Wait msiexec.exe /X {name of key whose (value “displayname” of it as string = “Ask Toolbar” of it and value “uninstallstring” of it as string as lowercase contains “msiexec”) of key “HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall” of registry} /qn

When I originally posted this long ago, I was really looking into how to install/uninstall firefox extensions with bigfix, which I never did pursue.
