How to remove add on that still shows up after resetting firefox
There is an add on showing up called torrent handler. It can not be removed, there is no remove button, I tried to remove it manually and I resetted firefox. It still shows up in my add on list. How can I delete it? Thank you all for your help.

have you gone through Disable or remove Add-ons
I tried everything
As I said before:
there is no remove button I removed it manually I resetted firefox still it shows up in add ons
Extensions that do not have a "Remove" button are installed by other software and are not under control of the Firefox extension manager.
Such globally installed extensions are usually found via a registry scan or are installed in a location that Firefox scans for installed extensions.
Extensions installed that way need to be removed via the settings (preferences) in the program that added the extension to Firefox.
I don't use Windows, I have a mac, does that make any difference?
Furthermore I don't know which program installed the extension
