Firefox Community Forum

I see that i have the option to use google as well as other search engines and i wonder if the use of google trough fire fox does anything different and protacts me more than just using google and how.

I was googling something related to my game and i clicked on a Reddit search result, which i made sure is the official Reddit website not some shady one, then an empty .htm file from moz-safe-about resource got downloaded randomly. I didn't open it, i uploaded it to VirusTotal which came out safe and then i instantly deleted it and ran a virus scan with Windows Security which also came out clean. i tried to recreate this by opening the same website again both on Firefox and other browsers like Zen(Firefox based) and Chrome but nothing happened.

is this a harmless bug or should i worry that it could be a virus that didnt get detected?

I'm getting notifications that my hard drive is infected with a Trojan. It appears to be McAfee pretending to be from Mozilla Firefox. I can't get rid of the damned things!

I recently started to get a"The security sandbox is disable" warning. I have already gone into about:config

my settings:

Content Process Sandbox Level 8 Effective Content Process Sandbox Level 0 (note in about:config this setting is 6?) Win32k Lockdown State for Content Process Win32k Lockdown enabled -- default value is true GPU Process Sandbox Level 1

Firefox ver 145.0.2 (64bit)

open Walmart, for instances I keep getting these pop up saying I have 20 virus etc. get this download. How do I stop this? It is non stop on anything I try to see.

I am satandalone user win 10 am administrator for my personal pc Firefox has been hacked and says it is managed by my organization. Norton nor bitdefender can get rid of the malware that has done this. Is there a patch or malware fixing bit of software that can clean this infection from my computer please. Chrome has the same problem so I have had to uninstall it an forget about it.

Googling the problem just comes up with all sorts of unintelligible to me tecky stuff Im not going near.

I see on the forums this is huge problem no one seems to have easy answer for.

Why does Firefox not have a version without this vulnerability for the millions of standalone personal users. Regards Mike Milletr

I keep getting annoying popups claiming to be from Mozilla Firefox. clicking on one takes me to a malicious website. Dismissing them only results in new ones opening. I am attaching a sample of a screen showing the popups on the right. I scanned for viruses and was told my computer is clean.

How can I stop this from happening?

For 2 days now I am overwhelmed with Firefox Security alerts about everything from Trojan Horses to system warnings. I know they are fake, but they are driving me crazy. Can anything be done about them?

this is probably something basic but i'm stumped and frustrated. just now i'm trying to track a package on the post office site usps.com - each step i take firefox prevents me from moving forward - example: to track a package i insert the tracking number into the proper field and click enter. next up is a banner from firefox saying"firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". i do the steps necessary to work around and track the package but it's annoying. this is just one example - its not limited to tracking packages or inserting long numbers into boxes - it happens - not often - but on occasion at certain other sites as well. while it may be the post office is inherently evil (i am not of that belief)i long ago accepted whatever they know about me is worth what they do for me on a regular basis - overall i consider my relationship with them as a win win. how do i convince firefox of the same? MSI notebook/laptop win 11, latest firefox updates although not a new issue - just particularly annoying today

i'd love to consign this to the category of "things that i don't think about any more" and move on to what's going to drive me crazy next - thanks for your help in my journey!
