Lately, I have been noticing that new Firefox browser windows (not a new tab, a new window) have been opening seemingly randomly on me. The sites in these new browser windows are always commercial in nature and seemingly random in subject matter. I am not aware of having clicked on anything that would cause the new browser windows to open. I need to know how to block this from happening; I am unable to figure it out in the various Firefox Settings.

bold texttheoretically if I was watching videos will my fiance be able to so how dig any and or all of the data that trails it.. like time spent watching videos or time spent on this app once all is closed

Recently getting a warning of virus. https://aiwebfreeinstalls.autos/1igfp2gfa/l?btd=dHJrLmNvbG9ueS1zY29yZS1yZWxhdGVkLWRvbmtleS5ydW4&exptoken=MTczNTY5NjQ2MDA1MA%3D%3D&lang=en&lid=bf3dcebb-0892-4a88-9a74-4f2979083dc1<d=dHJrLmxlYWQtd2hpbGUtc3ltYm9sLWF0LnJ1bg&pd2q=YTE9YmYzZGNlYmItMDg5Mi00YTg4LTlhNzQtNGYyOTc5MDgzZGMxJmEyPTk0MGY4ZmU4LTJhMzEtNDE4Ny1iOTVjLTQ2ZjZjZmQzNzVmNiZhMz0&td=dHJrLmV2ZXItZXhwcmVzcy1hbHJlYWR5LWZpbmVzdC5ydW4vc253ZGFydGY&lvc=fc594690

I am getting repeated pop up "alerts" from Firefox, McAfee and others about Trojan Horse and other viruses. I did not click on the links offered. How do I stop them from coming?

I keep getting notices that I have a virus that can't be found by my AV programs and gives a website of yfyfx.freshadsflow.top.

I keep closing the notice out or selecting the "Dismiss" button but it keeps coming back. If I unistall Firefox and reinstall it will I lose all of my bookmarks?

Getting too many scams sent to computer and phone. How do I block these unauthorized UPLs from getting on my computer? There a no three dots on the right side of my Firefox to get the menu to enter Options and proceed to drop down menu to hit Block. What am I doing wrong?

H&HNY2U&2U I'll appreciate your help! Please clarify if the alert containing a Firefox logo (pictured in the upper right corner of the image I attached), which flashed repeatedly while viewing the Apple page, is actually from Firefox or is a fake. thanks, HJK

I've been good about avoiding being hacked or having major problems. I'm on a Mac, with the latest update. I use 1Password. I check all the urls on questionable email. I use 2fa, and check for data briefs.

Firefox has built-in security. So does Apple. And Firefox has all sorts of extensions that provide security. Privacy Badger is from the EFF. I don't know if they all do the same thing or cover things not covered. The descriptions say they protect me, but how do I know? At times, I probably have overkill.

And this doesn't even address VPNs.

Searching for "Security" in extensions shows a list of about 2,000 extensions. "Privacy" returns a list of more than 2,600. I would think that if you were confident in your security, there wouldn't be so many, and/or you wouldn't list them. Do you have a gap that we need to find an extension to cover?]

There needs to be some consistency and clarity as to what you protect against and what they claim they protect against so we know which one we really need. It feels like buying a car and being told to go find our own tires in a vast warehouse, and then search for the gears we want, etc. When we get on a plane, we don't select our own seatbelts. If on a cruise ship, we don't choose our lifevests. If that were the case, no one would get on boats or planes. By letting us fend through thousands of security programs, you shift the responsibility to us. And very few of us have enough training or knowledge to do so.

I don't expect you to be perfect, but helping us through this maze would be great. I probably know more than the average person, but it feels that

Hello,

I am a bit confused and worried about what is happening here. I am routing Firefox through controlD DNS and Reddit.com is the only website that it doesnt block even though its on my blocklist. I tested it with a few other websites too and those did get blocked on Firefox but not Reddit. I did some testing and it seems every other browser works perfectly fine. Is this intended for Firefox to route Reddit through their own DNS servers instead of the private one I have setup? This is a bit concerning to me.

Let me know if this is intended or why this isnt working only on Reddit.

I'm about to remove Firefox from my laptop due to unwanted popups from an explicit and aggressive site called chaturbate. I installed Firefox because I was told it's a more secure browser. I'm seriously questioning my decision now. Does anyone have any suggestions to stop this from happening and to avoid any new events from occurring?

I am looking for a web browser I can use to manage my company on and I don't know much technology or cyber security and I am anticipating opening my card and collectibles shop within a few months and it took alot to get this far so I don't want to make any decisions that will create any kind of complications with my business. I am looking for one secure browser to use exclusively for my company I already told you it is a card and collectible shop but I will sell online hopefully. So my question is is there anything that I should know about vulnerabilities that could potentially be used to exploit my business

Long story short, I want to view a link from a QR code, but I don't want to open it in Firefox itself. I fear that doing so would expose me to scams. So, I want the link prompt (deny or allow) to allow me to copy the url, so that I can paste it in a different browser.

Attempting to follow any number of Ubuntu 24 HOWTOs to connect the Firefox I installed from the ZorinOS App Store to the smart card reader and they are all failing miserably so far.

I am trying to use...

Module Name: OpenSC PKCS#11 Module Moduel filename: /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/opensc-pkcs11.so

I've tried a few other pkcs11.so's on other paths and FireFox just immediately crashes. This one it at least says it can't add it. The module is owned by root and has 644 permissions so I think it should be readable. Brave Browser is working well with cert auth via CAC and I already have the machine fully set up with logging in via CAC, locking screen automatically when CAC is removed, etc etc so I know that at a base level the CAC is working well. Just can't seem to find the proper link glue.

This is NOT the snap version of Firefox either, I am pretty sure. sudo snap firefox commands say firefox isn't installed.
