How do I remove "engageya" content from showing up on any page I visit with Firefox?
I keep getting "You might enjoy reading:" and a whole bunch of article links inserted at top of every web page I visit. It Couses the page to jump around a bit while trying to navigate. It also insert links to random words which go nowhere useful. Apparently this is driven by "engageya" but I do not find an addon or extension to disable. How can this irritation be removed? Thanks, Steve...
