This is ADWARE. Dont install it. In the settings page i saw the advertisement option ENABLED BY DEFAULT. This addon subverts user expectations, and I suspect it violates Mozilla policy. How the hell did it get approved by Mozilla in the first place, i have no idea. I feel betrayed. Here is the privacy policy for the addon :

"If user consent is given, this add-on will show advertising on web pages.
In that case, the user's browsing history can be accessed by a third party (ad network).

But we don't collect cookies, password, e-mails or any other confidential info.
Only the domains (not full URLs) of the web-sites visited and nothing else."

To repeat and summarize :

- The app SHARES YOUR BROWSING HISTORY with 3rd PARTY ad networks whom we don't know.
- App modifies web pages to show these ads.
- Even if we can trust Mozilla and addon author how can we trust these 3rd party ad networks?
- Ads are enabled by default. No user consent was given by me.

At the very least the ads should be opt-in not opt-out. Mozilla should pull this from the store.
