so it worked properly on Linux. there is no way to know whether an addon instaled 'for the whole' system was added by third party, or by package. only addons in Your home dir are considered as 'installed by you'

Except that Linux doesn't tend to suffer from the browser-infesting stealth installs common to other platforms; the case of packaged addons seems far more common and likely.

ubuntu? yes, you can unistall it, but popular distros do come with pre-installed stuff.
