I keep getting notices from Firefox (Firefox emblem in the popup) that "Joe Smith has Unfriended" me. I cannot find this app in Firefox to remove it. Mac OS
Firefox 28.0 Mac OS 10.9.2
I keep getting small pop-up notices from Firefox (Firefox emblem in the pop-up), telling me that "Joe Smith [insert name of one of my Facebook friends there] has Unfriended you." It only stays on the screen for a few seconds and disappears.
Oddly, none of these people have actually unfriended me in Facebook. Facebook does not send Unfriend notices. I know there is an app for Firefox that does this, but I cannot find any trace of it in my Firefox Applications list and I do not recall installing it. Nothing with "Facebook" or "Unfriend" in my Firefox app list. (Someone else in the household may have installed it, but they are not talking. ;)
I searched my hard drive for "unfriend" and "Unfriend" and found nothing.
At this point, it is an annoyance, but it bothers me that something like this could become malicious.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time.

In your "More System Details" I see an extension named "Lost Friends Notifier 0.2" which could be the culprit.
You can review and disable nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Command+Shift+a
- Tools menu > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable. Or remove.
Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
If the Remove button is missing, this typically indicates an externally installed extension. These can be challenging to track down...

You have an add-on called Lost Friends Notifier. That seems like the likely culprit. Try removing it from the Add-ons Manager, Extensions category.
Thank you so much! This has been driving me crazy!!!
You are the best!
