what is firefox plugin called "ocplugin"? can't uninstall...

 clipped from support.mozilla.com

normal what is firefox plugin called "ocplugin"? can't uninstall...


I found out what this "ocplugin" was: It was installed when I installed the "WebEx productivity tools", which is only removable via Windows add/remove programs. If I uninstalled these webex tools (from Windows), the ocplugin in FireFox does go away (that seems to be the only way to extract it from FireFox).
There may be other tools that use/bundle this plugin/extension, but I don't know if it is the same one mentioned in the link by cor-el or not. But it'd be nice if the "ocplugin" did have a little more info in its "About" page.


I contacted Webex Support to find out how to get rid of the plugin without removing the Productivity Tools. Here's what they said:


To remove the WebEx plug-in appearing in Firefox


- Right click on the One click icon on the task bar of the computer. (If not available click start => All Programs => Click WebEx => Click Productivity Tools => Click One-Click to start the one click)
- Click WebEx Settings.
- Click Tools tab.
- Unselect "Show button in Firefox" (uncheck the tick mark corresponding to the box " Show button in Firefox").
- Click Apply then ok.


I followed these instructions and it worked beautifully.
