For past several days, a pop-up message appears every time I attempt to open my browser asking if I want to allow this app to make changes to my computer. The app is listed as Firefox Software Updater. When I checked Add-ons, I notice an add-on which is listed as temporary in support of Safe Browsing Version 4 and will supposedly be deleted once the roll-out of this feature is complete. How long is this 'roll-out' supposed to take? This has been going on for days. Should I be responding 'No' or 'Yes'? I'm using Windows 10 and Firefox 56.0.1.
Firefox
I've already donated to Mozilla. Why won't you stop asking me?
This is not really for the community--it's for the administrators/owners. Any way to contact them?
Any Add-on Software to WARN me when online shops do Auto-Log-Off? Etc.

I have literally endured countless hours of grief over the past years, because sites have become ever more sophisticated, to the point of causing aggravation.
Today, after spending hours figuring out which clothing to buy, then analyzing my shopping cart, a site kept kicking up a message that my phone number doesn't match my billing info. So I thought that either it wasn't accepting my entered promo code, or else that the programmer failed to coordinate correctly with Paypal. Because my phone number certainly DID jive with my billing info & the paypal acct. info.
Furthermore, I sometimes run into forums which automatically time me out, and then I have to login again.
Whether for security reasons or whatever, the programmers who automatically time-out cause countless grief. It's a long story, because I'm then made to endure asinine customer "non"service who are condescending in a drawn-out way, who fail to believe my real issues (because they don't offer a way for me to email or fax them a screenshot), and don't believe me when I tell them that I did everything properly, but yet its either looping or else kicking back unwarranted error msgs. Due to them not enabling sending a screenshot they waste my time by condescendingly telling me that I need to "blah-blah" and then it should work. Or else they say the promo code is wrong, or the phone number is supposed to be numerals and no hyphens.
Basically, they say everything EXCEPT: Are you sure you're still logged in? Are you aware blah-blah is case-sensitive?
So that's why I came here to ask if there's any such Add-On which FLASHES A RED WARNING whenever I get various STUPID error messages.
I.E. the software should detect when a site is giving me an error msg. Whereupon a warning should remind me: PERHAPS THIS SITE AUTOMATICALLY LOGGED YOU OFF, ....OR ELSE PERHAPS IT'S REQUIRING A CASE-SENSITIVE PASSWORD?

Received an email from Mozilla (rightly) thrashing Facebook for privacy and security breaches.
The issue is that my Firefox sign-on password is used as my first name in the email.
ie Dear <then my password>,
it is difficult to think of a more serious breach than this, and there is now way to directly report the problem to them - hope they look at this post.
I have checked all my account setting and belive these are correct
How can I make it so no one can change my privacy settings? can this be done without me doing any coding as I really don't know how?

I currently have my settings to erase history when firefox closes. I don't want anyone changing that setting when I'm not aware and thereby being able to see my history. I know nothing about coding and wouldn't even attempt it. Is there an add on or some kind of suggestion anyone would have? I'm especially concerned as my kids are getting older and I suspect they will have try this one day. lol

I recently bought an HP laptop. It had Chromw loaded, I prefer Firefox. More and more now when I try to open a FF window I get :
"Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot". This is also available:
"This page appears when Google automatically detects requests coming from your computer network which appear to be in violation of the Terms of Service. The block will expire shortly after those requests stop. In the meantime, solving the above CAPTCHA will let you continue to use our services.
This traffic may have been sent by malicious software, a browser plug-in, or a script that sends automated requests. If you share your network connection, ask your administrator for help — a different computer using the same IP address may be responsible. "
Sometimes you may be asked to solve the CAPTCHA if you are using advanced terms that robots are known to use, or sending requests very quickly. I am then forced to go through the Captcha rigmarole and it seems less and less keen to ever let me past.
Within our household we have two other laptops running FF and have no such problems with them
Thoughts and advice would be welcome?
Thanks
How do I prevent changes to the things in "options"? Is there a master password?

I have a number of people hacking me some in the US for unknown reasons and some outside the US because I have family that lives in China. I have someone trying to corrupt my Firefox by installing scripts and toolbars most of which I can remove easily.
This is the second time they have corrupted the address bar for my Firefox. The first time I was able to fix it by re-installing firefox from scratch and re-installing all my plugins. I don't want to do this every time one of the morons hacking me decides on a whim to mess up my firefox to try to get me to use a less secure browser like that disgrace that is internet explorer or some other browser.
Are you guys working on a bug fix for this? I searched around and it seems to be a re-occurring problem with Firefox

On a recent show of Security Now Steve Gibson was talking about Google using ping tracking to spy & track on everything we do and how bad this will be for privacy. I was pleased that it was only google doing this with chrome until this morning he said Firefox are adding it in an upcoming update and when its in you cannot disable it, all in the name of a faster internet. Can anyone tell me why a privacy based browser is using this technology and how will the content/tracking blocking features in Firefox respond to these changes?

I had fraudulent charges on my bank statement, in my google account it shows a device was logged in with my google account in Virginia using a firefox browser. Is there any way I can see or for Firefox to check the login history and location for my account so I can send it to the fraud dept of my bank? The date range I need it 20 - 25 May 2019
