Dodgy add-on - French spelling dictionary - bloody nuisance - why?

more options

Down-loaded French spelling dictionary ADD-ON from Mozilla. Got no dictionary but a TRICOLOR attached to my Book-marks tool-bar, which I can't remove. Clicking on the Tricolor links to a Blog about physiotherapy.

NOT GOOD & if it can't be removed I shall have to switch to a different Browser.

That's quite strange. What's the exact link to the add-on in question? See the following article for directions on removing add-ons.

I went to the Dictionaries & Language Packs page and installed the "French spelling dictionaries" add-on linked there. It didn't add any items to the Bookmarks Toolbar or otherwise misbehave.

Thanks, but I think it has now corrected. When I searched for Fr Dict add-on, I actually got a different screen with TWO options on it - one was a "beta" version, I think. There must have been some S/W maintenance etc going on. Have now cleared the strange tricolor !
