I just had another credit card get fraudulent charges. I have no clue how they are getting my card numbers, I have pulled all but 1 from anywhere online, but they just got another one. I couldn't get Mozilla VPN to work it just quit working at all. I turned Pocket off but I'm still getting 17 to 18 instances of Firefox. Dont know where to go now. Thinking of pulling the plug and starting over.

Hi I'm wondering what people think about emails providing links for donations. If the email address is spoofed and the link is malicious were in trouble. So, assuming the email I received today was from Mozilla (and not a spoofed email address, shouldn't Mozilla ask us to visit it's webpage to make a donation rather than email us a link? Regards

blob:

Hello, I process phishing URL's, I have recently come across URL's that make use of a BLOB: syntax on the URL: blob:https://bolig.botik.dk/16c8c011-0fa5-4ba0-a10f-ed76… (read more)

Hello,

I process phishing URL's,

I have recently come across URL's that make use of a BLOB: syntax on the URL:

blob:https://bolig.botik.dk/16c8c011-0fa5-4ba0-a10f-ed7675055cc6

You can see an example of the Phishing URL in this PhishTank entry:

https://phishtank.com/phish_detail.php?phish_id=9118779

That URL then re-directs to the above "BLOB" URL.

My understanding is that it is "locally" generating the phishing website, similar to an old fashioned about: syntax, however it's not clear what the significance of bolig.botik.dk URL is - loading that URL without the BLOB: prefix causes an error

Can someone explain:

1) What is the BLOB: syntax, and 2) what would be reported to have the phishing URL removed in the above example?

Hi.

There is an online bank. After the each update of the Firefox Mozilla on Windows PC (once per month) the bank asks to verify the login via Email or SMS OTR (which is normal).

During one year long when the first OTR code comes via Email, it's been always unrecognized by the bank (says: Wrong code). But the 2nd code or sms code mostly works fine.

Any idea?

Thanks

Hi there,

I am using Firefox Desktop in Windows 10. I activated master key password for the browser. Suddenly, I noticed that the pop up appear in the browser after open. If I close the pop-up or cancel it then it doesn't force me to type password. I easily can use the browser without using password. This is horrible!

please fix it

When I open Firefox I get pop-up messages supposedly from Mozilla warning or alert or I have a virus

This is my second request for help. I want to thank those who tried to help me before, but nothing has changed. When I open Firefox I immediately receive three messages, approximately 4 inches wide and 3 inches long on the right side of my browser, covering the areas I need to get to. They claim to be from Mozilla Firefox, have the Firefox logo on the top left, warning that I have a virus, or my files are infected, or a large Alert! And that I need to click "here" to fix the problem. It shows a strange "address" a string of random letters and the odd number and the words "merge network protocol." I did not click on this, or the "dismiss" that is shown. I did, however, click the X in the top right corner of one of these. It disappeared for about three seconds and was immediately replaced by another warning of some type. These messages do not go away when I leave Firefox, they follow me wherever I go. Restarting the computer gets rid of them, but I can't access Firefox without them returning. I have tried to alert Mozilla about this, but have not heard back. Any suggestions?
