Add-ons install themselves
I had added about 10 add-ons, then slowly started to remove the ones I didn't like.
However every day or so, they all reinstall! Could one of the apps have malware?
I have disabled them, removed them, and even done the Firefox recovery.
Macbook Pro 2011 OS 10.12 (Sierra)
The addons are listed below.
