Today I tried to use profiler.firefox.com which is some webapp that Mozilla makes to help you profile webpages in Firefox.

I have a simple webpage I wanted to profile which just has a small script and almost no html. I captured a profile and then in the profiler UI if I click the Firefox 78 tab a the top it shows I have a bunch of extensions installed.

I never installed most of these extensions. I never installed a Wikipedia extension, nor Bing, nor Amazon, nor eBay, nor DuckDuckGo.

Checking the adds-on UI they don't show up there

How do I get rid of these extensions?

They are not extensions they are Search Engines. They are not being classified correctly by the profiler.

To remove them:

1. Open the Search panel in Firefox Options using one of these methods:

   • Click the menu button and select Options. In the Options tab that opens, click on Search in the left pane.

   • If you added the optional Search bar, click the magnifying glass on the Search bar and then click Change Search Settings.

2. Under One-click search engines, click on the search engine you want to remove.

3. Click the Remove button to take it off your list.
