Is there some way something is installed on my profile (and saved on it so it keeps re-adding) without showing? I made a format on my pc. Prior to it and after it, I had refresh firefox to throw out any unwanted extension or plug in that it could possibly have. I downloaded firefox again and logged into my profile. Windows defender, avg or malwarebytes dont detect anything unusual to Firefox and myself either don't see anything unsusual or out of the ordinary. I checked extensions and plugins manually as well through the troubleshooting and didn't find something suspicious (I'm bad at programming so it's difficult for me to read the information it provides but from the simple things I don't see something that shouldn't be there).
I have a feeling though that something is wrong with Firefox. It's unusually slow on same device and not responsive many times. Like something is onto it. I've had recent attempts of someone trying to hijack accounts connected onto Firefox so I'm worried if it's something that I'm not seeing.
I can't find a support e-mail or live chat of Mozilla for someone from there to check it out.
Any help?
