Why push add-ons like 1-click download? Every restart brings it up.

1-Click Download is "pushed" in its own tab every time I start Firefox. I'm liable to quit "starting Firefox" unless this can be stopped. The message equates to, Oh boy! Here's the greatest news on Earth: You are ready to get started! Version 2.0.9 - FireFox 22.* Compatible. I don't want this or any other sales crap being pushed at me, Firefox 22 compatible or NOT. WHAT DOES IT TAKE (besides switching to Safari or Chrome) TO STOP THIS?

Why did you install the addon then? Contact the devs of the addon about that issue. Also create a new profile, if the new profile works transfer some stuff from the old one (if you want to).

Hi calvinator, 

. I can't imagine Mozilla tolerating this stuff..

Whatever it is, is nothing to do with Mozilla, other than you happen to see the results on a Firefox Browser.

The problem will not be solved by Mozilla.

It must be solved by your actions in tracking down whatever unwanted software is installed or settings changes you have made.

It would not harm to try my suggestions and it may lead you towards discovering what is wrong. An endless wait for a Mozilla fix is not going to help you. The guesses are not just random ideas but suggestions after reading what information you have provided so far.

We do not even know yet if alternative browsers work for you.
