Sounds pretty hackish, given that you could just call the EM (eg. see
bottom of
<http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/mnenhy/src/bin/chrome/mnenhy/content/mnenhy/mnenhy-pref-main.js?rev=1.9&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup>):

// remove Mnenhy from the Aviary's Extension Manager
try
{
  const ksEMClassID = "@mozilla.org/extensions/manager;1";
  const ksEMIID     = "nsIExtensionManager";
  if (ksEMClassID in Components.classes
      && ksEMIID in Components.interfaces)
  {
    const koEMService = Components.classes[ksEMClassID]
                        .getService(Components.interfaces[ksEMIID]);
    if ("uninstallExtension" in koEMService)
      // up to nsIExtensionManager.idl 1.25
      koEMService.uninstallExtension(goMnenhy.ksMnenhyUUID);
    else if ("uninstallItem" in koEMService)
      // since nsIExtensionManager.idl 1.26
      koEMService.uninstallItem(goMnenhy.ksMnenhyUUID);
  }
  goMnenhy.Log("UninstallMnenhy: successfully removed from EM");
}
catch(oErr)
{
  goMnenhy.Log("UninstallMnenhy: removing from EM failed:" + oErr);
}
