Q: Pestered by adware Offers4U

I am being pestered by Offers4U, it's a pop-up offering alternative sources and prices for things on the pages I am viewing, it blocks my view, I have tried turning it off and also Uninstalling it. The Uninstall option doesn't work and when I contact the site they claim that I installed it, along with other software.

Currently it is in Firefox but it apparently comes also in Safari and Chrome.

I have tried doing searches for it and I've tried turning on "Show Invisible files" and then searching for it, but I can't find it. Since it appears only in Firefox I have tried searching package contents in the Firefox application. Updating Firefox doesn't fix it either.

I have been to the site Malwarebytes Anti-Malware for Mac and they offer an uninstaller but you first must Reset Firefox - which means losing all History, Bookmarks etc. I'd rather find the blighter and get rid of it.

But how can I find it?

MacBook Pro (13-inch Mid 2009), OS X Yosemite (10.10.5), 8 Gbs ram
