You can report the add-on from directly in Firefox on from the add-on's listing on the Mozilla Add-on website. See Reporting extensions and themes for abuse for more information.

Hope this helps.

Did you ever click a link on a website to update Firefox or update a plugin ?

Do you remember where you picked up this extension ?

Was it installed in your profile folder or elsewhere?
