How do I remove Firefox Hello from Firefox 35?
I have not found a uninstall icon; only remove it from the TaskBar. That does not mean it's uninstalled.

No WebCam installed!

What we need is a Customized SlimFox where we can add-in ONLY what we want!

How long will it take hackers to create a malicious removal tool for Firefox Hello?

In the address bar type about:config and in the search field type "hello"; there are some options you can tweak and hopefully at least partially lock down this Internet Explorer-level embedded "plugin". As far as files themselves I found nothing containing the word "hello" either in the Firefox 35 installation folder or the Firefox 35 profile folder (I keep versions separate for obvious web development purposes).

My grip is mostly that I have to keep adding extensions to make Firefox do what it used to do. Perhaps one day something will change for the better at Mozilla in regards to people who make decisions, for now we'll just have to help each other out here.

Thanks for tip 8)

I miss the days of Opera 12.x; the new one is just a shadow of its former self. You can't even drag a shortcut to the desktop!
