Firefox Community Forum

every download gets stopped with "This file contains a virus or malware", have to click on the file, then click "allow download" every time!

I check the file with my antivirus and it finds NOTHING!

At the top of my settings it says: Information: Your browser is being managed by your organization.

What does this mean? It's my personal laptop, I bought it myself and I don't work for any organization.

Thanks for your help. Nancy

To sign into Chatgbt I used my google account. Mozilla asks me "do I want to store info in persistent storage?" I click "learn more" about persistent storage. It takes me to a page that has zero mention of the words "persistent storage". That is a huge UX error. It says to me that really, you don't want me to know about persistent storage, and prefer that I remain confused and feel forced to agree to things I may not really want to, because you're making it difficult to understand what's actually involved. Not cool. Definitely now considering changing my browser after over 20 years.

I attempted to put in an address of what I thought was a website today on mozilla. I soon found out that it was not available or a proper website.

Now I am getting alarming notices with heading Mozilla Firefox all via what looks like an Indian website, saying 1. Click to secure your 2. Trojan detected Fix it now. 3. Critical Error. Click here to remove them.

I have not clicked on any part apart from the x top right to remove the notifications. I can send photos of them

I have scanned with my Windows Security repeatedly and nothing.

PS. The messages are obstinate to remove and it takes effort to x them.

On my Windows 11 computer messages keep cropping up supportably from Firefox. I have switched the computer off. this is from my old computer. I don't know what to do now. Colin

Was prompted to download a program to Firefox before I paid my phone bill. I did not recognize the web address or name that was shown, and the account number from which recent payment was deducted did match any accounts I hold or held in the past. I cancelled the action immediately, without downloading, but am still concerned. I found nothing on the internet about this, just got a summation chat AI response that stated the phone company had no download/extension for Firefox. Has anyone had any experience like this or could someone shed some light on this?

I am currently getting unwanted popups purporting to be from firefox about virus protection. I know they are fake because they report my McAfee license has expired, and it hasn't. I have McAfee scanning for viruses right now. They are generated over again when I close them; so I can't get rid of them.

1st, I'm 72 and I'm fairly competent but I ain't no 'puter whiz.

I have a 6 month old HP Laptop with McAfee and Norton installed. Firefox is my default browser. Yesterday I started getting popups with "Mozilla Firefox" and the Firefox logo and they say things like "McAfee: 3 viruses found! Hard drive is infected! Remove viruses!" and then there's a "via [suspicious looking websites that start with with d3qq and have a .co.in at the end. I have not clicked on them. Just got one now with "ATTENTION! Click here to remove it!" What "it" is, I don't know but again a site with d311 and .co.in at the end. I have run McAfee and Norton scans out the ying yang and they keep saying there's nothing wrong with my laptop.

I have this sick feeling that I have to uninstall and re-install Firefox which scares my 72 yr old brain. Help!

Hello Firefox Developers,

No pressure for this item.

I would like to request that there be an option to censor or hide the Firefox user information in the Firefox UI and in the Settings section for privacy and security reasons, especially when doing online streams or making online guides.

At least an option to either make it "l.............@..." with an eye option beside it. Like what the password field behaviour is in online forms.

It would be nice if the option were available to the end-users.

Thank you so much.

Since the new CEO of Firefox seems to be very determined to add more AI features to the browser that I've been using (among other things) specifically to escape AI slop, I will be considering switching to another browser. It will be disheartening to abandon the browser I've been using for years, but I value my personal data (and cpu) too much to let an AI handle it. I appreciated his words that it would be "Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it’s not for you, you can choose to switch it off", but I strongly believe that all AI browsers are inherently insecure. The first AI feature that I can't make completely disappear forever with one click will be my sign to switch browsers. Hopefully, Firefox re-thinks its approach and decides not to destroy the exact thing that makes it so valuable - the commitment to protect the users' privacy.

I have received 3 system alerts, all from Mozilla Firefox (I use Firefox as my default browser). 1) System is infected!---click on d45n9f8ko90s738b610.gsx-protect.co.in 2) ZEUS.2020 Trojan detected--with same directed site 3) System Alert!---with same directed site.

I use McAfee as my security system. They recommend going to Firefox settings and disallowing random site connections. How do I get my system running again.

Latest McAfee scan shows 45 entries deleted and 2 browsers reset

My browser is being managed by "your organization" but I belong to NO organization. How do I regain control of my own browser?

Message reads: "Your browser is being managed by your organization" Please help me regain control of my browser!

Hey, I am currently working on an application where I want to upload files to a server using mtls via a webapp. The upload goes to another url and server than the one where the webapp is served from. If I test the file uploading without mTLS, it succeeds, and with mTLS enabled it also works in chromium, but in Firefox I get the following error: "Cross-Origin Request Blocked: The Same Origin Policy disallows reading the remote resource at <url> (Reason: CORS request did not succeed). Status code: (null)." on the `OPTIONS` request before the `PUT` is done. The client and the server both have a certificate from a custom CA, which I imported into firefox, along with the private key. Does someone know what the issue here might be? I am suspecting that there is some problem with firefox loading the user certificate on the preflight request?

Getting too many scams sent to computer and phone. How do I block these unauthorized UPLs from getting on my computer? There a no three dots on the right side of my Firefox to get the menu to enter Options and proceed to drop down menu to hit Block. What am I doing wrong?
