Extensions are simply add-ons for browsers. They are not malware unless you have installed junk applications that try to hijack your browser.

Safari has the option to disable them in the Preferences, Extensions tab. Disable them & retest.
Firefox has 'Tools > Addons', then select the Extensions & disable them & retest.
Chrome has 'Window > Extensions'. Again disable & retest.
If the browsers work you can re-eanble the extensions one by one & see which causes the problem. Install updates if you have them for the browsers & the extensions.
