There are several extensions that allow to do an image search on various search engines, I'm not considering this as a spam function if you have installed such an extension.

I have never installed it! Yandex is a spam, i want to figure out which extention did it and get rid from this option.

Start Firefox in Safe Mode to check if one of the extensions ("3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Extensions) or if hardware acceleration is causing the problem.

  • switch to the DEFAULT theme: "3-bar" menu button or Tools -> Add-ons -> Themes
  • do NOT click the "Refresh Firefox" button on the Safe Mode start window
  • if you have many extensions then first enable half of the extensions to test which half has the problem.
  • continue to divide the bad half that still has the issue until you find which one is causing the problem.
