There is an addon that hijacks links on popular sites and opens yahoo search pages. It is not clear how it finds its way in Firefox, users are not installing it on purpose. Is there a proper way to report this sort of behaviors for addons in AMO?

Thanks marco for your note. I think this is a good place for it, as the admins roam this site.

It appears to be a part of

Which I think has some security issues, I reported abuse on it with more details
