i've tried everything, safe/troubleshoot mode, manually uninstalling and even refreshing firefox in normal or safe mode, the extension has the "Can't be removed" button the profile directory (/home/xxx/.mozilla/firefox/v6kxe18l.default-release-1648663005215/ for me) don't have a extension folder after refreshing firefox, when booting up i immediately get the extension reinstalled

This is clearely skooky behavior in my opinion and I really don't want this extension
