I accidentally installed this add on. It's called gamevance text links. It basically highlights random words on websites and links them to random objects. It's really annoying. I try to disable it, but it doesn't work. When I go to uninstall it, it says Firefox needs to be restarted in order to complete it. But when Firefox pops back up after the restart, it automatically re-installs the gamevance textlink add on. I can't get it to go away.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== I downloaded a game from gamevance and forgot to uncheck a box giving consent to install this add on.
