Rid Firefox of an extension??

AdBlock Plus is available as an RPM, which I assume would install for every
user and require root to remove the package.  You can check with the
command:

rpm -q mozilla-adblockplus

If it's installed, then removing the RPM and restarting Firefox should
remove the extension.
