Hello, The attached zip contains a sample of a malicious addon. It hijacks a victim's Facebook account and sends spam to their friends. Thanks! Facebook Security MD5: 15edbd619f534458b0d10c96b4594532

There are two extension at play here. One is jid0-O6MIff3eO5dIGf5Tcv8RsJDKxrs@jetpack, which is the one reported, and that is certainly malicious, force-enabling disabled extensions and forcing a new tab URL. The other is lightningnewtab@gmail.com, which is the one the first extension tries to keep enabled, which appears to also be unwanted and silently installed. That one I think should only be soft-blocked.
