Seriously Mozilla.

First with ramming AI everywhere in Firefox, now a browser VPN, why?

I do not want a VPN the web browser that I didn't ask for or other features you think people need without asking.

Corporate and business users would not have a bar of this either.

Enough!

Remove this from Firefox please in the next release.

In the meantime, tell users how to disable this VPN via the Settings and "about:config" so this never gets turned on.

Also McAffee notification with all these popups stating that my McAffee protection expired yesterday - I have never had a McAffee notification for a virus or pair for protection from them. Popups are happening every 10 seconds continuously! looks like about 20 or more popups describing different problems with 20 digit numbers and letters as a serial number of the problem!

I'm getting announcements of a virus threat that purports to come from Mozilla Firefox. Usually one or all three of the attached small windows that say: 1. "Viruses Found. Antivirus notification. via https+++d512ucanaffc739fe48g.cgm-defender.pro" With a Dismiss button. 2. Attention! Click here to secure your data!. via https+++d512ucanaffc739fe48g.cgm-defender.pro" With a Dismiss button. 3. "System Warning!. Click here to remove them! via https+++d512ucanaffc739fe48g.cgm-defender.pro" With a Dismiss button. I have run full scans and offline scans with MS Defender, but these warnings still appear. Is this legit? I suspect these are a virus of some sort. Either way, how do I deal with this?

I think that i get some virus in my computer, in the last two days some of my accounts were accessed by an unusual way.

I´d like to know if the problem was my passwords kept on firefox, all the apps that were hacked had the password saved on the firefox manager.

There's a way to know if my passwords on the Firefox were stolen ?

It must be said that the second field is added after the creation of the form.

Whit Chrome and Edge the form is showed correctly. At thislink the behavior can be seen. Thanks

1st, I'm 72 and I'm fairly competent but I ain't no 'puter whiz.

I have a 6 month old HP Laptop with McAfee and Norton installed. Firefox is my default browser. Yesterday I started getting popups with "Mozilla Firefox" and the Firefox logo and they say things like "McAfee: 3 viruses found! Hard drive is infected! Remove viruses!" and then there's a "via [suspicious looking websites that start with with d3qq and have a .co.in at the end. I have not clicked on them. Just got one now with "ATTENTION! Click here to remove it!" What "it" is, I don't know but again a site with d311 and .co.in at the end. I have run McAfee and Norton scans out the ying yang and they keep saying there's nothing wrong with my laptop.

I have this sick feeling that I have to uninstall and re-install Firefox which scares my 72 yr old brain. Help!

Unknown Firefox settings failing with CORS requests recently

Hi,

Since last week I am unable to properly use some websites that are failing due to CORS requests, but they were working before. Some examples are es.webuy.com or a local Jellyfin instance. After trying to enable/disable some settings that I thought could be related to the problem, like security levels, I ended up creating a new profile. In this new profile everything works, but as soon as I synchronize my Mozilla account, then these websites start failing again with CORS requests errors.

Any idea about what setting might it be the one causing problems? Or any idea about how can I debug/troubleshoot it myself?

Thanks!

I ran Dell Support Assist but I do not have a virus option. I have not rebooted yet as I wanted to clear this up first and then reboot. Thank you. Irene

In settings, it says Your browser is being managed by your organization. I clicked it and it led me to the policies page. In there it says Policy Name- Certificates, Policy value- ImportEnterpriseRoots and then true. I neither work in an organisation, nor I have any antivirus in my computer. Why is this happening?

I attempted to put in an address of what I thought was a website today on mozilla. I soon found out that it was not available or a proper website.

Now I am getting alarming notices with heading Mozilla Firefox all via what looks like an Indian website, saying 1. Click to secure your 2. Trojan detected Fix it now. 3. Critical Error. Click here to remove them.

I have not clicked on any part apart from the x top right to remove the notifications. I can send photos of them

I have scanned with my Windows Security repeatedly and nothing.

PS. The messages are obstinate to remove and it takes effort to x them.
