So why allow questionable add-ons at all? I mean, they have the whole "Recommended by Firefox" thing, as if they cared about providing secure add-ons. I just don't understand why Mozilla/Firefox allows an add-on which behaves that way, which I find quite suspect, and at the very least, very rude to its users, in their repository. And of course, it's the kind of add-on that has access to everything you do with the browser. I know this sounds super-weird, but I certainly didn't install it myself, and nobody else uses this computer. somehow the add-on was installed back a few days ago and I realized it today when some websites started complaining about the ad-blocker. if you figure out how to remove the add-on manually by deleting the XPI file, you even need to use root access in the terminal to erase the file. If you do that, the addon-on is still there after the re-start. they don't respect Firefox's "fresh re-start" thing, which is supposed to remove all add-ons. the "Report" button is not unabled but it doesn't work, and when you use it gives an error and doesn't send the report. When I said this add-on doesn't follow Mozilla's guidelines I meant that I guess I just don't understand the whole system yet.
