Cloudflare “Suspected Malware” warning appears when opening my website

When I open my website, pvamarkets.com, I see a Cloudflare page that says:

“Suspected Malware — This website has been reported for potentially distributing malware.”

This is a legitimate e-commerce website. After the warning appeared, we completed a full server-side security check. We checked the website files, database, cron jobs, access logs, error logs, and file-delivery system. We did not find malware, executable files, unauthorized code, or signs of a server compromise.

Our website only delivers plain text files to customers. It does not host or distribute Windows executable files.

I understand that the warning page is branded by Cloudflare, but I am posting here to confirm the following:

Is this warning generated or influenced by Firefox or Mozilla Safe Browsing? Can Firefox cache an old security warning after Cloudflare removes it? Is there any Firefox security report or blocklist entry for this domain? What steps should a website owner take to confirm that Firefox does not classify the domain as malicious?

The warning appears before visitors can access the website and causes serious trust and access problems.

I have attached a screenshot of the warning page.

Regarding the new built in Firefox VPN. If I have Tabs open and Enable the VPN on a New Tab, does it then affect all previously opened Tabs, only the New Tab, only the New Tab and Tabs opened after that initial New Tab, or ? Also, is there a Meter Display or similar so I know how much of the 50GB VPN allotment has been used or is remaining ? Thank you, very kindly ...-- J V

After all of those years, am I witnessing now that FF literally failing?

How could it become mysterious by that it lets user's location leaked to github even though: - third-party HiFi company VPN is active and in OpenVPN UDP/TCP, Wireguard, IPv6 On/Off, etc... - No bookmark to corresponding website - Cache and website data were so-called cleaned, - Other browsers don't give that symptom, only FF - No related plugin, out of only 3

it's impossible to find out how it lends to the language and region query of this website every time after cleaning. Is FF getting closed app?

Is that a no-way-to-explain effect of language models' evolution is exponentially higher in every 4 months after two years?

My cat jumped on my keyboad and Firefox detected 'unusual activity' She probably hit a combination of keys which lead to said activity. Instantly, I had to verify whether I was a human. I did, but really, it was my cat. Neither my cat, nor myself have bad intentions. I just thought Firefox security should know that these things might happen.

I hope that my cat's activity didn't compromise my account. Maybe 'unusual activity' should be less strict, though I do understand that Firefox must be vigilant. Maybe it would be a good idea to let users describe what happened, before sending Captcha?

I read that your new CEO is pro use of AI and doubling down on wanting to implement it. Meanwhile the literal main reason most people I know to use Firefox is that it doesn't have AI slopware. I really urge anyone capable of doing so to help reconsider a decision that is going to let down long-time users such as myself. It is getting harder and harder to avoid data leaks and security risks, and until now, Firefox seemed to have been the best browser for these purposes. I don't want to switch, but if you do this, I will have to.

DRM nags are back ! I am very suspicious of this ! Stopping FF DRM nags yields NO search results -- but used to. Zero searchable information in the Mozilla databases. What a search for DRM nags does yield is LOADS of outrage (see attached) against FF. I am getting a VERY, VERY suspicious. Before FF tries to monetize more functions -- FIX THE LEGACY ISSUES !!! One thing after another, all week, month and year. 'Upgrades' of the browser induce panic and fear these days. "What will break next ?". You people need to look at shrinking market share and growing outrage and have a Come-to-Jesus moment ! Pawning off 'support' on volunteers is about as cynical as I have ever seen. No useful answers for weeks to many things I have posted since migrating machines to Win 10/FF 15x.

Glad I did that search ! "Back in February, Mozilla changed Firefox's Terms of Use and Privacy Notice for the worse. Mozilla removed a longstanding FAQ promise – Nope. Never have, never will" – regarding the sale of your personal data to replace it with a less definitive pledge" to "protect your personal information." Would it surprise you to know that a few weeks later, Mozilla announced that AI would be its top priority in 2025? I note that this was listed above privacy." Where the Hell is the AI Plague going to get a broken browser ? Look at those damn search results ! Gazillions of posts by fed-up users and vastly shrinking market share.

Hi,

I noticed that in the latest release (I tried both MacOS and Windows 11 ARM versions) that the "network.cookie.sameSite.laxByDefault" is no longer enabled, and cookies set by applications without specifying the flag, are not set with Lax and are sent in cross-origin requests. Could you clarify if this is intentional and why the change has been made?
