I can't disable fox web security because it is password protected and I don't have a password and the article is not intelligible

I never created a password for this extension but it thinks I have one!

What does this mean? This is unintelligible to me!

Hint! 

   You can use the mask " * " at the beginning of the domain name for the blacklist and whitelist
   In the black and white lists, you can use both domain names and IP-addresses
   Password protection:
   * Locked: Fox Web Security -> Settings
   * Locked: Menu -> Help -> "Restart with Add-ons Disabled"
   * Locked: disable/uninstall addon
   * Locked: change/reset settings "extensions.s3security." via about:config


The following little keywords are at the request of those who can't remember the name "Fox Web Security" and want searches to work. It takes adult control, parental control, web filter.

Hi

This does not sound like an issue with Firefox itself, but an add-on that you have installed.

Add-ons are created by a large community of independent developers. The developer for the add-on that you are using is the best person to contact for help and support with their software. You can find their contact details by clicking on their name on the page that you downloaded the add-on from.

If someone else set that up on your computer, I suggest talking to them about why they did that.
