How can I COMPETELY remove NoScript?

I noticed that even after uninstalling NoScript, it left traces in the profile folder of Mozilla (lines in prefs.js, a .db file, a directory called ABE, etc.). I did my best to remove what I thought belonged to NoScript, but is there a comprehensive list of exactly what files/directories/pref.js lines get left behind after uninstalling, so that I can completely eradicate all traces of the plugin from a system without having to do a clean Firefox install? Thank you in advance. ;)

I don't know a complete list, but if that's what you're finding, I would think it would suffice.

prefs.js, would be immaterial, since the extension is no longer installed.
Though if you were to edit prefs.js to remove any noscript references, you must first close FF.

The others, simply delete.

None of the things left behind after a NoScript uninstall affect the performance or other behavior of Firefox in any way. If I were you, I wouldn't bother. That said, here's a comprehensive list:
Folders:
ABE
Files (some may not be present):
NoScriptSTS.db
Lines to delete from prefs.js:
All lines starting with user_pref("capability.policy.maonoscript
All lines starting with user_pref("noscript

Hope this helps.

Thank you. That's exactly what I had removed, I was wondering if there was anything more, I guess there isn't. :)
