Please explain the problem in detail. What happens? What is/are the exact error message(s) ?

Did you try the following? Type about:addons<enter> in the address box to open your Add-ons Manager. Hot key; <Control> (Mac=<Command>) <Shift> A)

In the Add-ons Manager, on the left, select Extensions. Locate the add-on, click on the 3 dots to the right and select Remove.


If there is a problem, Start Firefox using Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode {web link}

A small dialog should appear. Click Start In Troubleshoot(Safe) Mode (not Refresh). Is the problem still there?
