  Are you sure the quiet installation of the add-on happens by visiting
a website, rather than it happening by you running an executable installer,
which then silently adds the add-on to Firefox? I thought that the whole
issue was that a Microsoft update, besides installing normal updates to
your Windows system, *also* installed the Firefox add-on without asking.
In other words, you have to run the update installer to get the undesired
add-on, rather than just getting it by visiting a website.
