Ad for downloader extension
Ad for downloader extension
On both the profiles I regularly use I've gotten a full page ad today for Video Downloader Helper. I'm trying to figure out where this came from. I don't have the extension installed. I wouldn't install it now anyway, after this intrusion. Perhaps another extension spawned the page? SJ doesn't do this, correct?

SJ does not throw ads in your face : )

That's what I thought, and I appreciate that. The most probable explanation is another extension is doing so.
Thanks.

Or a miss click causing a popup to sneak through, happens to the best of us.

An errant click was my first thought. But then an hour later the page appeared on my other profile-instance as I was watching, where only yahoo mail was open and I wasn't doing anything.
That's the name, but I don't know about firefox. It was a chrome extension.

Sounds like a injected malware through an ad etc seeing you had your mail open. I would run your anti-malware program if you have one just in case. (malwarebytes probably the best one to run).

I asked about ff addon because Video Downloader Helper addon is one of the most used addons firefox has. Its well trusted and has a chrome extension version too.
