Question disabling mozilla firefox filter preferences
How do you disable fox filter preferences from the browser? I want it completely off my computer.I don't want to uninstall firefox and re-install. I have too many bookmarks that I want to keep.

It's an add-on with Mozilla Firefox.

All add-ons are grayed out, or just that one?

I am not familiar with this add-on, but you should be able to start Firefox in safe mode:
Start> Mozilla Firefox> Mozilla Firefox (Safe Mode)
this runs Firefox without any extensions.
Then go to Tools> Add-ons, click on FoxFilter and there should be a button
to Uninstall.
