Description

[Tyler Downer [He/Him]]

I'm worried this may be randomized or have multiple ID's :/ But this is showing up alot for our users on SUMO, bypassing about:newaddon and possibly not letting users restore their data. I haven't been able to find a copy of the add-on yet.

Thank you for catching this involuntary and offensive addon so swiftly, and for blocking it for all Firefox users.
