Default Removing unwanted extensions from Thunderbird

I have disabled 3 extensions from TB.
However. after restarting TB, I was hoping
that now I would be provided with a Remove
button for each of these extentions. Only
the Enable button shows up.
So.... are thsese extensions built-in and
cannot be removed?
The extensions are:
Estonian ID Card
FireTray
laajennus Voikon kaytoon
provider for google calendar

You said 3, and you listed 4.

They are not built in. How did you install them?

Not a good typist - 3 is too close to 4
I do not recall installing 2 of them,
namely
Estonian ID Card
laajennus Voikon kaytoon

I have seen firefox install add-ons and extentions upon startup
that I have not requested.
I wonder if TB does the same?

There are 2 places where extensions live.

~/.thunderbird/something.default/extensions
and
/usr/lib/mozilla/extensions

Those that live in /usr/lib/mozilla/extensions have been installed "globally" and
therefore will not present a "remove" option.

In the case of "Estonian ID Card" you have probably installed the mozilla-esteid
package when you went ahead and installed **everything**. So, you see what headaches
you've made for yourself? You've installed **everything** and now you are seeing
things you want to get rid of and you've no idea what they are and how to get rid of
them.

FWIW, the only extension that gets installed in the $user area on first run is
"Thunderbird Test Pilot". You are given the option to remove since this is in the
user's directory.

Now, you've indicated you know how you installed the other 2?

I had asked that question since if the OP knew how he installed it, it may provide a
clue as to how to remove it since the "remove" button isn't there.

However, the OP has responded to me privately telling me he didn't really like being
asked that... Indicating that this type of question is "OUT OF BOUNDS!!!".

I can not see any reason why I should continue to lend assistance in this
matter...and most likely any others.

Well "Ed" unlike some people I would GREATLY appreciate it if you would
continue to lend assistance to this mailing list, I have found most of
your answers to be "right" in the situations they were presented in.
Until I become a Linux "master" I'm going to need the minds of folks
just like you to help me along!

yum list installed | grep thunderbird

You have installed thunderbird extensions from fedora repos, I presume. In that case just remove them.
