Do you have any addon installed in your browser like that ? Most probably that is not from addons.mozilla.org. It may be any infected plug-ins /extension which stored there. AFAIK when any dev submitted there developed extension , reviewer team will do a check for there trusted functionality,so you always will get a remove button with that.

And once you removed it from there it will uninstall completely . However such suspicious things still appeared in your system even after uninstalling it from addons section.

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 this way need to be removed via the settings (options/preferences) of the program that has added this extension or this program has to be uninstalled via "Control Panel > Programs". In Firefox you an only disable such an extension.
