This was installed in a recent FireFox 'we have updates for your computer message'. I cannot get rid of it. The popup that I get to uninstall it has a big black box with a space underneath and says to make sure this is not a malicious virus enter the letters in the box in the space below, The box is blacked out -

Help please,.

This does not come as a update from Mozilla nor does it come with Firefox browser whether by install or a update.

This may have been a update by one of the Extensions you already have installed or it could have been installed by a outside program that was installed or updated then.

Look in Addons->Extensions ? https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/disable-or-remove-add-ons#w_how-to-remove-extensions-and-themes

Has the Firefox logo on the information and says Firefox recommends updating- but it is not Firefox that it downloads - it is all other kinds of junk and even if i mark decline or skip it loads it anyway and then I have to go to programs and delete it - I have now have three items in programs that I cannot delete
