Judging from the screenshots how likely that my phones are also contaminated, and what actions should i take to minimize the risks. The reason i saw this was that my e.bank wasn't working correctly, always trying to send money via international transfer, even though transfer was domestic.

I ve uninstalled the browser by now but i think my PCs are still contaminated.

Transfer's not the point here, anyway, if you would check the screenshots you would see a range of problems starting of FF being forbidden to update, to all my passwords and accounts being "managed by organization" - which is a problem, since this is my home PC and network.

This has occured on multiple PCs on the same network one running windows 11, other windows 10. I also noticed CMD pop up for a millisec for absolutely no reason sometime.

So the actual question that i would like answered: If this happened to you, would you consider the entire network is affected, for example another OS (that runs firefox, or doesn't)? and what is the risk of cured or new device getting infected on this network.

So far i didn't see similar settings in other browsers, but since the cmd's pop i still think it might be in the system

And if you want more info on transfer - i ve called the bank, they cant help, as usual, but i noticed unusual browser activity, like loading pages i dont recognize for a millisec before showing the transfer page. and before you ask, yes, i ve checked the address, and it was legit. That's why i went ahead and checked firefox settings, and those were just like on my other PC when i noticed them some time ago - i didn't think about it much back then, ran a few antivirus (used 3 different antiviruses) scans, removed <something> that scans were complaining about and removed firefox, since i couldn't change any settings in it and forgot about it. Now that i discovered the same thing on another PC that is much less used i decided to get some advice on how bad is it. That's pretty much all the info i got. See the screenshots
