Removing Fasterfox 2.0.0

I am using the FF3.01, when the program was updated I got a message that
the add-on Fasterfox 2.0.0 is not compatible with the FF3.
I know that, I am using Tweak Network 1.3 and not Fasterfox, where is
Fasterfox 2.0.0 extension located, I would like to remove it from my
computer.

I removed via Firefox's Tools | Addons. When the Addons window comes up,
clik on FasterFox to select it and then on Uninstall. You will be prompted
to restart Firefox. At least, it worked for me.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode. Perhaps it will show then, and you can
uninstall it in Safe Mode.

Starting Firefox in Safe Mode work just fine, the addon showed up and I
uninstalled it,

One word of caution. Removing Fasterfox does not undo the 'tweaks' it
makes on your behalf. (I purged this less than useful add-on in version
FF 1.5.x, and that was definitely the case then.)

I copied my 2.x profile, uninstalled 2.x, deleted the profile, then
installed 3.x and transferred some files (bookmarks, passwords, ...) to
the new profile.

But with other people I just set FasterFox 2.0.0 back to the default
(Fx) settings (they created this feature along the way), then
uninstalled it in 2.x and then installed 3.x. Should be ok, I think.

Quite true, and generally the case for many extensions. They either
make changes to the configuration files, which they DO NOT replace when
uninstalled, but those changes are maintained until you make a new
profile. That is why a new profile is a good idea now and then. You
can export your password and bookmark files, and import them into you
new profile, thus clearing a lot of deadwood.
