Recently we found a firefox instance with a strange add-on XulRunner which hijacked firefox traffic when the user went to google. This is different from XulRunner Mozilla runtime program for more on the latter see https://developer.mozilla.org/en/XULRunner
The strange add-on would make http connection and exchange data with google.ad.sgdoubleclick.net as someone here https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/749007 said. And I believe it was also responsible for exchanging data with a server here hosted-by.leaseweb.com
Here is a document from Mozilla on how to uninstall an add-on http://kb.mozillazine.org/Extensions_Uninstall
