More Information
Did you click this link?
Probably it's forced by your AV software. Open regedit.exe and check if the following registry keys exist:
- HKCU\Software\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\
- HKLM\SOFTWARE\Policies\Mozilla\Firefox\
Go to your installation folder (where firefox.exe is located) and check, if you have there distribution folder.
PS. You still didn't click the link.
is there a solution to this? I am also getting the same message "Your browser is being managed by your organization". I don't have he above registry entries or a distribution folder.
I have found the answer. removed registry entry placed by AVG antivirus using below method:
1. Open the registry editor
2. Navigate to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies
3. Select and delete “Mozilla” parent key present below Microsoft on the left side 3. Restart Firefox browser and visit Settings, you’ll no longer see the message.
I understand that it is Avast/AVG causing this problem. I have Avast free on my laptop. If I remove it, will Windows Defender be sufficient to protect my browser? I also scan with Spybot once a week.
