Go to "extensions" as root and select them and click "uninstall" like you
would any other extension. The language packs are about the only thing you
have to uninstall as root as far as I can tell.
Warning: You might want to stay away from the del.icio.us plugins as they have
seriously changed the way they work... basically they copy all your bookmarks
to your del.icio.us account and then put a shortcut to 'em in place of your
bookmarks in Fedora. I didn't like that, so I uninstalled it and copied my
old bookmarks back... I was looking for some that didn't get loaded
anyway. :-)
