Extensions that get installed by antivirus clients can generally cause various problems or duplicate features already in Firefox.

Is this something you downloaded? Did it just appear in the browser?
It appears in my Foxfire browser on the extensions page

Thanks. Not sure why it is listed as an extension in Firefox if not a good idea. AnnielouC
It’s very sad, but many software downloaders/ installers will trick you into installing not only their program, but other programs as well.
You have heard of the fine print in shady contracts, right? Well, some installers you need to look at the itsy bitsy teeny weeny fine print.
You are thinking you are giving the installer permission to install the program you want by using the recommended option. But if you use the Manual Option Instead, you discover all kinds of stuff that you do not even know what it is or what it does.
From now on, everyone needs to Use The Manual Option to put a stop to this.
Note that these programs can also change browser/computer settings.
Thank you
