how to stop amazon s3 intrusion

more options

In the last few days, as I open Firefox, in Linux Debian, I get a pop-up about Amazon S3 (cloud service - I think an advert to sell disc space in the cloud). I hit the cross to delete it, and it disappears, but randomly and infrequently, it pops up again.

I have no pop-ups shown, nor add-ons that can account for this. (However my Debian file manager shows the following ... /usr/share/media-player-info/amazon_kindle.mpi /usr/lib/icedove/searchplugins/amazondotcom.xml /etc/iceweasel/searchplugins/locale/en-US/amazondotcom.xml.

I do not know if these are anything to do with S3 (it seems unlikely), or if they are needed, or why they do not appear in the list of plug-ins in Firefox.

The essential point is that I do not want Amazon S3, and I will be grateful if you can instruct me as to how to get rid of this intrusion permanently.

Doesn't Iceweasel have their own support forum?

Iceweasel may be installing their own search engines and not using exactly the same search engines that come with an official Firefox build. ... /usr/share/media-player-info/amazon_kindle.mpi /usr/lib/icedove/searchplugins/amazondotcom.xml /etc/iceweasel/searchplugins/locale/en-US/amazondotcom.xml
