Please make it unable for websites to install stupid and annoying third party search engines and toolbars in firefox. I'm so pissed rn. what's this shit. every time i visit some site they install some sh*t toolbar or some search engine that's so annoying and disrespectful. It's your duty to make your users happy and by allowing these degenerate websites install their useless toolbars you at firefox are making your users interest in using the product sophisticated.

What toolbars are you seeing? It's possible you have malware on your computer, so I'd suggest running Malwarebytes (www.malwarebytes.com).

Also, please update to the latest version of Firefox!
