I have several pop up ads stating viruses and trojan horses have been found. These are all trojan horses that they want to infect my system with. They are coming from Mozilla Firefox and I have no idea how to delete the pop up ads from my screen and computer. I do know they are false as I have McAfee and Malwarebytes and they both show that I do not have any viruses. I know if I ask them to fix this they will infect my computer. I need to know how to delete them thanks

I installed a "messenger app" and it was obviously malicious... I uninstalled everything I could find, but I still am having my address bar hijacked, every time I enter something, it redirects me to "tracksearching.com" I've installed and ran Malewarebytes, Avast, AVG, and Windows Scanner, nothing picks it up or changes anything. I need help! Obviously something is still manipulating my key entry.

I have used FF on my laptop for many years and AVG AntiTrack on it for 1-1/2 yr without issue. However, today I got a message that appears to be from AVG (but also includes the FF logo) that their AntiTrack is disabled and I need to add it to FireFox, with a "Resolve" button and NO way to close the message. How do I know if it is true or an attempt to hack me? Have there been any other reports of this happening to others? TIA, KBoDolphin

"Require device sign in to manage passwords" enabled on its own

I'd never seen a Windows Security prompt when attempting to view saved passwords before, so I was confused when I saw it for the first time recently. I have a primary password set within Firefox, and I never enabled "Require device sign in to manage passwords" in settings. I also cannot disable this setting without entering my Windows password.

I was alarmed that this may be a malware symptom, as I'd recently connected to a new public wifi network. Is it a known issue for this setting to become enabled by itself? At the time of this issue, I was running 150.0.3. I have since updated to 152.
