What is YTU Support
I found this in my Add-ons Manager. Does anyone know what this is?
I looked thru the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} but could not find anything.
Nothing on a web search either.

Hmmm, I was looking for YTU Support. Maybe they are related. I'll have to ask them.
Here they mention YTU Support :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-unblocker-plus/reviews/814977/
This add-on came before the one that's listed in your system details.
(same developer)
Have you removed this add-on yet ?
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-unblocker-plus/
And maybe clicked the 'Report this add-on for abuse' button ?
I just read the first (very long) review : not pretty !

Hi Fred !
Found these two German add-ons :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-unblocker-plus/reviews/814977/
and :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-unblocker-plus/
No idea how they/it got in your Add-ons Manager ...... (if this is what you're seeing)
But I've never seen so many add-ons listed in someone's system details
either - maybe one of those caused it ?

Couldn't let it go and found this :
http://www.freefixer.com/library/file/%40ytu-support.xpi-254288/
'Hope that has nothing to do with it .......
In all those extensions that are listed in your system details I completely overlooked this one :
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/youtube-unblocker-plus/
(the second one I mentioned in my first post)
Maybe use the 'Report this add-on for abuse' button ?
Thanks, Happy. I had found the FreeFixer page, but it had no useful information.
The others you listed I added from Mozilla.
When you're on : https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/
and type in : 'YouTube Unblocker Plus'
You'll see it right there (you said you couldn't find it)
But if you didn't install it yourself : something must have .....
Hmmm, I was looking for YTU Support. Maybe they are related. I'll have to ask them.
Thank you.

I couldn't find the 'Support' part either - that threw me off.
But that extensions that's listed in your system details only says :
'YouTube Unblocker Plus 2.0.1'
That's where I should have looked in the first place : your system details .
Just thought of something :
In Preferences => Privacy & Security => under 'Permissions'
Did you check : 'Warn you when websites try to instal add-ons' ?
(Just a stab in the dark, as the question still is : "How did it get there ? " )
Yes. The warning is on. Your pardon. ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzz

I disabled the 'support' but will keep the main for now. Thank you for your help, Happy.

I hope you won't regret it ......
Thank you for your help, Happy.
My pleasure, Fred.
And another one with an add-on that 'installed itself' :
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/1183710
That same add-on shows in your system details ......
Did you install that one yourself ?

You can check the extensions.json file in the profile folder for more detail about installed extensions. If you open the file in a Firefox tab and have the builtin JSON Viewer enabled then it is probably eaiser to inspect the file.

Couldn't let it go as I keep thinking : "Fred mentions YTU Support, but no such addon is listed in his system details .... "
Do you see this 'YTU Support' in one of these add-ons maybe ?
