Thinking of Firefox? Think again. Do you have a Windows 7/8.1/or 10 machine? Put Firefox & ccleaner on it. Now. . .Right click ccleaner, open as administrator. Tools < browser plugins < Firefox. Make sure you are sitting down, or someone is holding you up. There are 13 extentions & 2 plugin's installed that I'll bet you've never heard of, or knew about. Ready for the cryptic list? Here we go:
*Application update service helper *Click-to-play staged rollout 1.2 *click-to-play staged rollout 1.3 *Firefox screenshots *Follow-on search telemetry 0.9.1 *Follow-on search telemetry 0.9.3 *Multi-process staged rollout 2.0 *Multi-process staged rollout 2.05 * Photon onboarding *pocket *sheet recipe client *uBlock Origin (if you have it) *Web compat *Plugin (with no name #1.4.8.903 & its signed google) *Open H264 Video codec.
Are any of these present in the Linux version of Firefox? I have no idea. But here's the worse part of it. Some of these extentions CAN NOT be uninstalled from Firefox. Wasn't that nice of them?
