I tried to install the uninstaller but it would not install remotely, I think
it may be a problem with my firewall. So I donwloaded the uninstaller and then
installed it, it did not work because the download only had half of the
uninstaller. I could not find the other half to download so I gave up on that
option.

I found some instructions on how to manually remove extensions. They did not
seem to be correct (at least for OS/2) but had enough information that I
managed to get it removed. What I ended up doing (after some trial and error)
was remove (in the chrome directory) the .jar files and deleted chrome.rdf and
then restarted Mozilla.
