Dear jm1647,
Thank you so much, I made it!
See the attachement screen shot file.
The process is that
1)
First, "Manually uninstalling a plugin"
https://support.mozilla.org/.../Troubleshooting+plugin
I renamed the ....dll files such as "npDeployJava1.dll" to "XnpDeployJava1.dll", "nppdf32.dll" to "Xnppdf32.dll" so on.
I also deleted uneccessary old version plugins and files with "....dll" files.
So, I don't see the plugin names in the Firefox Add-ons windows anymore.
2)
Delete "pluginreg.dat" in the Firefox directory.
C:\...\Mozilla\Firefox\Profiles\....fefault-...\pluginreg.dat
That's it!
The point is "pluginreg.dat".
I thought that the CCleaner read the plugin info of the Firefox from some data file since I saw lots of plugins by the CCleaner (see my first attachent file), but I didn't know which file the CCleaner read.
Anyway, thank you for all you commented to me.

doesn't seem a very elegant solution - but a solution none the less, which has achieved what you were after and made you happy, so a win at least.
seems more a back-door hack than a nice uninstall.
can't see why Firefox or the plug-in authors don't put in a Remove button - doesn't seem hard, so there must be some reason ???

Probably because if software could be removed via it just imagine the malicious potential of exploits that could cause.
I agree about post # 22, 23 and I would like to request to the CCleaner next version for setting "Remove button" for the plugin in the Firefox.
It should have the warning popup window "This action has own your risk!" before removing the plugins to avoid the risk in the post #23.
(I mentioned this issue in my previous post as you can see.)
Many Firefox users don't pay attention about the plugins and they don't know how many plugins are running during the Firefox browsing, like me.
It is very beneficial and practical way to set the plugins delete button in the CCleaner system.
For instance, "Registry" setting in the CCleaner is very helpful for me and I often delete unnessecery registries time to time.
Please consider to make the "plugins delete button" in the next version.
That is C"Cleaner", means cleaner, isn't it?
Thank you for reading.

Glad it worked out for you!

CCleaner could either put in your "Remove" button, or an "Uninstall" button, and instead of doing a sort of "hacked removal" run the actual uninstaller for it such as with Adobe Flash Player, etc., although it wouldn't work with everything such as with Windows components like Windows Media Player's DRM plugin(s) which would probably have to be whitelisted so as to not break a valid Windows component. Probably not as easy to deal with as some may suspect.

Is this really appropriate action for the STARTUP menu which this topic commenced with ?
I think it really belongs with the UNINSTALL menu,
which already has the ability to uninstall Flash Player Plugin and possibly Microsoft Office
