<p>That add-on must have been removed from <a href="http://addons.mozilla.org" rel="nofollow">addons.mozilla.org</a> for a reason - and you had to find out the hard way what that reason was ...... &nbsp;:(
</p><p>What I find weird though, is the fact that the add-on wasn't disabled in your addons manager ....

It was never acted on.

Using safe mode did make the problem stop though, so I've followed the instructions on troubleshooting I was given!
</p><p>In the end, it seems that it was my gmail notification add-on was causing the issue, because disabling it but no other extensions stopped the issue. What I wonder now though is how this happened when the add-on was last updated on February 13th, and also if I should take any further steps to ensure my browser safety?

</p><p><strong>Try Firefox Safe Mode</strong> to see if the problem goes away. <a href="/en-US/kb/diagnose-firefox-issues-using-troubleshoot-mode" rel="nofollow">Firefox Safe Mode</a> is a troubleshooting mode that temporarily turns off hardware acceleration, resets some settings, and disables add-ons (extensions and themes).
</p><p><strong>If Firefox is open,</strong> you can restart in Firefox Safe Mode from the Help menu:
</p>
<ul><li> Click the menu button <img class="wiki-image frameless" src="https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/gallery/images/2014-01-10-13-08-08-f52b8c.png" alt="New Fx Menu" title="">, click Help <img class="wiki-image frameless" src="https://assets-prod.sumo.prod.webservices.mozgcp.net/media/uploads/gallery/images/2014-01-10-13-10-08-eaa722.png" alt="Help-29" title=""> and select <em>Restart with Add-ons Disabled</em>.
</li></ul>
<p><em><strong>If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode</strong></em>, your problem is probably caused by an extension. Please follow the steps in the <a href="/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-extensions-themes-to-fix-problems" rel="nofollow">Troubleshoot extensions, themes and hardware acceleration issues to solve common Firefox problems</a> article to find the cause.
</p><p><em>To exit Firefox Safe Mode, just close Firefox and wait a few seconds before opening Firefox for normal use again.</em>
