I installed Flashget with its Firefox integration. Whenever I would download something I would get a oage that said "The download has been transferred to Flashget" and, sure enough, Flashget would start downloading it.
However, I really didn't like Flashget and uninstalled it. My downloads are still saying that they're going to Flashget (except nothing happens). I deleted all instances of Flashget and Jetcar from the registry, but I don't know how to make Firefox stop thinking I still have Flashget.

Yes.
First I uninstalled through "Add/Remove Programs"
Then I deleted all registry instances of "FlashGet" and "JetCar"
Then I rebooted the computer.
Then I posted on Neowin.
There is propably that flashget plugin still installed in your browser, go to Tools -> Extensions and look there. If you find that flashget there, select it, press "Uninstall" and restart Firefox.
