Where did this websnapr 2 come from on my blog?!

Topics: help! websnapr
I didn't install it, I don't want it, and I can't get rid of it! Besides upgrading Wordpress I recently upgraded some plugins, like image manager. Is it part of image manager?
This is what happens, I have a picture in my post and decide to edit it. As soon as I click on it not only do I get the image manager edit or close thingy, but websnapr pops up and tells me it can't read that thumb or some garbage. I'm in edit mode! Then it won't go away, even if I delete the bloody picture I can't get websnapr to close or go away. If I go to html mode there it is posted in all it's glorious code. There I can delete it but as soon as I need to edit the next picture, here we go again. The only place it's happening is in edit mode. It doesn't pop up on my published posts.
I have spent hours searching google on how to get rid of it and where it came from and I'm finding nothing. It appears that I'm the only one who hates it or had it move in as an uninvited guest. Screenshot here: www.sliloh.com/websnapr.jpg

Oh dear! Sounds awful... like a bad blog-virus. Please keep us posted as you learn anything. I see Yahoo at top. Does it come from there you think? (That may be a really dumb question. If so, sorry.) Did you check any of the other blogging-groups here at Blog Catalog to inquire?-
I found it after tons of searching. On my hard drive it was in some obscure folder so I googled that and it was this firefox addon: addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5641 Really strange since I had the dumb addon disabled at the time because I was sick of a window popping up every time I selected text. No where in there does it tell you it adds and uses websnapr. Needless to say that addon is gone from my computer!

Wow... how you found it I wouldn't know! But glad you did -- makes no sense and why on earth would you want something so annoying as an add-on? Yippee to you for finding it -- I assume you were able to dislodge the little bugger...

Aye a lot of people actually LIKE websnapper and smart shots but they drive me batty!!! -
Yeah, I couldn't find anyone having that issue or even one bad thing said about it anywhere! Really crazy. It didn't popup on my published pictures which makes no sense. Oh well, that was a translation addon that I've lived without this long so the entire thing is gone now

Don't you just hate when some uninvited addon sneaks in like that! I am glad you got rid of that monster. -
Yeah, I was going nuts trying to figure out where that lil bugger came from
