Firefox Community Forum

I'm being bombarded by FireFox regarding "Dangerous Files" Downloaded, and I cant find a way to turn them off! I have Malewarebytes installed and I don't need nor desire for FireFox and a number of your PAID advertisers like McAfee, to be involved in my on-line protection. How can I shut down FireFoxs intrusion on my privacy? Browserjmva001

I've suddenly started getting continuous pop-up notifications warning of a virus, a trojan virus, system alert, etc. Some mention McAfee (I use Total AV and have run scans and it says there are no problems). THese bitufucatuibs sat they are coming from Firefox. They are just constant and even when I delete them they just keep coming. What's going on?

Is there a specific name for the Firefox notification bar, other than that? NOT anything to do with popup blocking. The same bar that has the "mailto" handler pop up that appears beneath the address bar. All I can find is information related to website popup blocking which is obviously no help at all.

Thanks, Frig

Firefox has started giving me suggestions via pop ups. Please would someone tell me how to turn off Firefox suggestions?

This is a pet hate of mine. MS suggests games for me to play, and Google suggests that I sign in with a Google account. Now Firefox is suggesting things. Noooo!

I found it at the bottom of three lines> settings. Uncheck: Recommend extensions as you browse Learn more Recommend features as you browse Learn more

This may be a new feature. There are no Google hits for the suggestion wording "keep your email in your taskbar" so I take the liberty of posting this here.

I have notbyte messages popping up with Firefox logo on them. How do i stop this happening? Tried to uninstall notbyte but cant find it. Can you assist. Thanks, John Dobson

In a Firefox window, the left-most pane shows Homepage on top followed by a list of recent open websites. In my current window for example, below the home page heading I have Log in/Sign up/Mozilla Support then Get Support| Mozilla Support followed by +New Tab. There is nothing special about the particular configuration. I mention the exact configuration for orientation. My problem, for the example I am describing, is the existence of a popup that is in a separate bubble window that states Get Support|Mozilla Support on the first line and support.mozilla.org in the second. Popups like this one always appear. They are driving me crazy because they persist when some new window is moved over the Firefox window. That is, they always come to the front of a stack of windows. They often cover some clickable list in another application. I'm working with the latest MAC OS on a Macbook Pro. I have tried the usual advice to turn off popups in the FireFox settings. This toggle has no effect on these popup windows. Is there a way to turn them off!

Even in the notification setting found under privacy and security there are no sites listed, however, I am continuing to get banner notifications even after uninstalling the browser.

I am trying to turn off notifications for Zynga in W11. Zynga is not listed in Notifications setting--only Firefox or Thunderbird. I do not want to stop all Firefox notification jut Zynga..any suggestions?

how do I get rid of these annoying webpages that appear automatically when Firefox or it's adblocker has updated? it's like advertising for an app I already use the whole time.

thank you, blue

It seems certain sites are prone to fire popup tabs, with any click, right clicks included. I close them immediately and the second click acts normal, getting the nav result I was asking for. How to strength the popup blocking function to stop this distracting behavior? Thanks for any pointers. This may prevent me from staying on FF.

How can I disable various Firefox usage hints? I've uploaded an example of one of these hints associated with the List all Tabs button. This hint pops up every time I start Firefox. There are other hints like the attached that appear from time to time.

This doesn't appear to be a bug. During a recent Firefox update, I believe I either checked a box to show me these hints or I failed to uncheck the appropriate box. I haven't figured out how to discontinue these hints (via Internet search, Firefox support search, or me poking around in Firefox settings).

I'm running desktop Firefox on Windows 11 Home, version 10.0.26200 build 26200.

Thanks.

I'm receiving two Ten Tabs to my single email address. If I unsubscribe from one it will also unsubscribe the other since both are sent to the one email. One email sender is firefox_at_mail_mozilla_org_[alpha numeric omitted}@privaterelay.appleid.com, the other sender is firefox@mail.mozilla.org. Is the easiest solution to unsubscribe and then resubcribe?

based on this article: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/push-notifications-firefox#w_manage-the-notifications-permission-for-all-websites

i can manually disable the notification requests in a single instance. However, how can i accomplish the same for my other 1000 users in one policy?

I tried different permission notification registry settings, but none seem to work. probably getting lost in the AI web that doesn't exactly know how to fix it.

I’m looking for something i can set in the registry,powershell or by gpo. It should work in all cases, new and existing firefox profiles.

Hi, so my problem is I need to keep using the keyboard for surfing the net on my Windows PC, because of pain issues with using the mouse too often. The most difficult part is that Firefox comes with a lot of these top-most balloons with feature suggestions like "did you know you can use an AI bar now..." etc.

Btw, I don't mean any popups from websites. Mozilla just shows the feature info balloons (or tool tips?) when you are on a website, but it's never the website that bothers me.

There is no way to hide these mozilla popups using the keyboard except opening a new tab with Ctrl+T.

So... is there anything to get rid off all feature-news or mozilla-suggesions etc?

Thank you!

When I open Zen Browser, instead of showing the home page with my pinned pages and weather, I get a black screen. This is kind of frustrating because I have tried so many times to fix the problem but it doesn't work. I need your help, thanks.

there is a photo of the black screen down there.
