i have this strange entry in my password manager that seems to be related to an extension

i am currently combining through my password manager as i stated to notice entries for "idownloadfast" "hideme" and "lockwiperandroid" and found an entry that seems to be for a Firefox extension? "moz-extension://336ba9e4-ebe5-4f93-a935-0e41204e5a33" when i open it i get code that looks suspicious, and i don't see anything that says what the extension is. but it has my email and a password saved in the entry. i can copy pase the code, if it isn't against policy. i already know whatever is going on with my devices security its not limited to a single account or service. but any information would be appreciated. i change my passwords, check connections, and keep two step authentication on for everything.

Hi

A URL starting with moz-extension://, it refers to a unique internal identifier (a UUID) that Firefox assigns to a specific extension on your machine.

Identifying the Extension To verify what that extension is, you can us go to about:debugging#/runtime/this-firefox and use 'Find' (Ctrl+F) to search for that ID. It will show you the exact name of the extension.

If the ID matches an extension you don't remember installing remove it.

I suggest to check your Email account settings and check Security > Third-party apps with account access and revoke anything you don't recognize.

Run a scan with Malwarebytes.

Check your computer's installed programs list.
