A plug-in called PlaySushi Textlinks has been installed and activated without my permission. Can't uninstall it. What do I do?

I have Windows XP and Firefox 3.6.13.
2 days ago I noticed that random-seeming words in web articles and blog posts were underlined and hot-linked. Today I checked Add-Ons and noticed something called Play Sushi Text Links. I never installed Play Sushi Text Links. I've never heard of it before.
If I click Uninstall, I'm prompted by Firefox to restart, but when the system restarts it shows that 1 add-0n has been activated. Play Sushi Text Links is still active. If I click Disable, Play Sushi Text Links is disabled for that browser session but is re-enabled when I start a new browser session.
How can I get rid of this Play Sushi Text Links? And how was it installed on my computer in the first place?
Thank you

  • HT6147 If my iPhone and iPad both say I have  7.0.6 and under "General",  "Software Update" I receive the message "iOS  7.0.6  Your software is up to date" can I assume that the security patch has been installed and activated?

  • Flash player has been installed multiple time without errors but bbc news website and even flash player help say it isn't. How do i get out of this loop? - using windows 7 ultimate and latest IE11

    I have had the same problem for WEEKS and I cannot access any sites that use Flash. Flash has been installed on this computer since I bought it in 2012. I have allowed auto updates but for weeks the updates never get past Step 2 - is this because I do NOT want the Google Tool bar? I use NO tool bars as there is only 6 inches of vertical screen space. Is this because I uncheck wanting Chrome as a default browser?  It is already installed, I just don't use it.  I came to this site and ran the check is it installed and the system says it is either not installed or not enabled. Version 14 just downloaded about 30 minutes ago - but did not progress to Step 3 although a pop up screen came up with a finish button, which I clicked. WHAT is the problem and how do I fix it?  If this were just a compatibility bug between IE11 and Adobe they have had plenty of time to fix it.

  • My MobleMe calendar upgrade does not recognize that OS X6.3 has been installed and sees the old OS. What to do?

    My MobleMe calendar upgrade does not recognize that OS X6.3 has been installed and sees the old OS. What to do?

    visard229,
    Numerous Apple support articles state that "Mac OS X v10.6.4 Snow Leopard is recommended for all users."
    Why do you think that 10.6.3 will work with the MobileMe calendar?

  • Firefox will not recognize java plugin that has been installed and worked 1 day ago.

    I have an IMac with OSX 10.5.8, Firefox 5.0, One day ago it worked fine, today when going to a specific site that requires Java, Firefox will not recognize that Java is installed. I checked for updates and there are none. Java is installed and the site works fine with Safari, which requires Java as well. How can i get Firefox to recognize Java installation.

    Apple has removed support for the Java Plugin2 with the latest Java Update 10 for OS X 10.5 Java version, so the Java plugin is no longer available for Firefox versions and other browsers like Google Chrome that require the Java Plugin2.
    The Java Plugin2 plugin is still there, but he softlink to it has been removed with this update, so Firefox doesn't find the plugin.
    There will be fix for this in the next release (Firefox 5.0.1 or 6), so that Firefox will find the plugin again.
    I don't know if all Java applets will still be working on OS X 10.5 with that JP2 plugin (Apple recommends updating to OS X 10.6 for OS X 10.5 users with an Intel Mac).

  • I can't tell if my AdobePro software upgrade has been installed properly. Doesn't seem to be working, so what do I do?

    How can I tell if my AdobePro upgrade has been properly installed?

    Thank you, but I am not good enough at uninstalling and reinstalling apps to be certain I won’t completely mess up what I already have. Do you know if there is a way to get online support directly from Adobe? I am in the middle of a very important project and can’t risk losing the use of Adobe as I had it before attempting to upgrade.
    Thank you. Really appreciate that you responded to my inquiry.

  • Customer Service line said my order has been received and activated, anyone know what this means?

    Checked my order status on the web for my iPhone 6 preorder, it says order is in process with expected ship date of the 19th. When I call in on the customer service line, it tells me the order was received and activated. Anyone know what this means?

    You are in the same situation as me, and that is everything points to we are golden (or space gray, or silver ) For 19th delivery.   Make sure someone is at home, signature in person likely will be required.

  • New hard drive in 2009 iMac has been installed and now I have a folder with a question mark displayed on start up.

    I installed a Barracuda 500 gb drive. When I attempted a reinstall based off an external hard drive using time machine, it showed an error message of not being able to complete the back up. This was after I formatted the new drive using disc utility. I reformatted a different external drive and let it make several back ups. I then put the new drive into the machine and now I only get the folder with the question mark. It is a late 2009 iMac. The OS updates have been through the on line store and I do not have back up discs. Everything SHOULD be backed up on my external.

    when you partition and format the new bare drive are you running off of an install disc in the optical drive? I have used the install disk for Leopard to access the Disc Utility (did not install Leapard, just used it to access the Disc Utility) as well as the machine prompting me to take action due to the new hard drive being recognized, again using disc utility and using the install disc provided by the hard drive manufacturer. All of these were done according to instruction as previously mentioned, on a reformatted and partitioned drive each time.
    What OS version are you nstalling on the bare drive before you attempt to restore from your Time Machine backup? I have not installed any OS on the bare drive. I do not have a copy of Lion 10.7.5  as I purchased it through the app store. I was under the impression I could reinstall all the data through Time Machine but that is proving elusive - frustrating.
    Are you trying to use the Time Machine "star wars" interface to restore or are you using Migration Assistant? I am not using migration assistant. I have been using the Time Machine restore application.

    You have to restore and thus erase the iPod. It is a security feature.
    Disabled
    Place the iOS device in Recovery Mode and then connect to your computer and restore via iTunes. The iPod will be erased.
    iOS: Forgot passcode or device disabled
    If recovery mode does not work try DFU mode.

    iTunes: Restoring iOS software
    To restore from backup see:
    iOS: Back up and restore your iOS device with iCloud or iTunes       
    If you restore from iCloud backup the apps will be automatically downloaded. If you restore from iTunes backup the apps and music have to be in the iTunes library since synced media like apps and music are not included in the backup of the iOS device that iTunes makes.
    You can redownload most iTunes purchases by:                         
    Downloading past purchases from the App Store, iBookstore, and iTunes Store        
    If problem what happens or does not happen and when in the instructions? When you successfully get the iPod in recovery mode and connect to computer iTunes should say it found an iPod in recovery mode.
