If the mozilla-adblockplus package is installed then the extension is
installed under /usr/share/mozilla/extensions/, and you can't update
it from within Firefox, you'd have to wait until that rpm package is
updated.
To remove adblockplus in this case, uninstall mozilla-adblockplus.

Here I see:
[bobg@box10 ~]$ yum list mozilla-adblockplus
Loaded plugins: langpacks
Available Packages
mozilla-adblockplus.noarch 2.4-1.fc19
So I suspect yum remove mozilla-adblockplus would take it out?
