Postaleads has attached itself to my mozilla, how do I get rid of it?
A company called Postaleads has invaded my Mozilla. It is a "sales" window that appears anytime I am in a site that might sell something. Of course Postaleads is no help. I really wish there was some way of suing them for invasion of my computer. I have tried everything I can think of to get rid of this announce. Thank you

hello, you may have malicious addons present. please perform all these steps:
- reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
- afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
- finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
