Eight months ago I installed a great add-on, Blacken, and I really liked
it, but later I found it wasn't so great. The author says, and I believe
him, that they've made changes in webpages so it doesnt' always work
right anymore.

I used the Add-on page to uninstall it, and I restarted windows
afterwards, but it's still doing things, bad things.

First it was only NextDoor but now it's making the contents of the
Google search box disappar.

How can I entirely delete a Firefox Add-on?

Just a guess, but you might have to reinstall it, then use it to set everything
back to normal. Finally, uninstall it via the add-ons page.

Sometimes, simply removing something doesn't automatically mean that all
relevant settings will be restored to their pre-install state.

'Remove' from the addons manager should remove it: it deletes the addon
from the profile. With some addons you might have to restart Firefox. I've
never known it not work.

Try reloading the offending pages, overriding the cache.

Do you have other addons that change pages?

Clear history to ensure you aren't loading cached copies of web pages.

To flush add-ons, you can create a new profile in Firefox. The
"Refresh" option will do that. The old profile is not destroyed, but it
doesn't get loaded. You can use the Profile Manager to decide which
profile to load.

Are you sure that it's removed?

As a last resort, you can always start a new profile after backing up
your bookmarks and Lockwise passwords.
