The best protection is your own protection. What I mean by that is don't install add-ons unless you are certain it is safe. Add-ons don't just get installed out of the blue. They get installed from downloading programs (make sure you check any options) as often they are checked for you.
BrowserProtect is a good Firefox add-on.
You're better of looking at this section yourself and reading the reviews. I don't see why a developer would need to create an add-on for what you're asking as add-ons don't get installed by themselves, some human intervention would need to take place i.e. installing a program and clicking next without reading what it says.
The villain is often Cnet downloads. And gunk like 'snap.do' comes to mind. I never saw it ask permission (twice).
Yeah you are properly better of going to the manufacturers website to download a program first rather than Cnet if you are experienceing addons get installed without your permission.
BrowserProtect - what a relief. Thanks.
np don't forget to mark your threads as solved and give people +rep if you feel they have helped you.
