I would like to uninstall downloadhelper and their site says “to to add-on/tools, then click on ‘uninstall’.” The only problem is when i go to the add-onn/tool menu, there is no uninstall option.

I have exactly the same problem as the above writer: there is no “uninstall” option in the DownloadHelper section of the Tools menu! – Doesn’t anybody realise this?!
