plugins can be installed either where you looked or in program files. if you already remove appdata or changed profile, you should move to the installation directory. afaik plugins do not reappear from registry keys.
you might as well be able to type "about:plugins" in the address bar or possibly use tools/add-ons and just nuke or disable that plugin alone which is simpler if feasible

I guess that the plugin is not FireFox specific so you could try another Browser like Opera
Uninstall Firefox. That should clear Firefox but the plugin will be in the old APPDATA folder.
Install Firefox and it should create a new profile for you and you can try the plugin install again. The new profile will know nothing about the old APPDATA folder. Try an older version of Firefox because the newer versions are NOT compatible with older plugins.

Could you please share the plugin which is not getting installed?
Also which version of Firefox are you using.
