Firefox Community Forum

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.

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?

The title. I want to be able to browse while trusting a specific CA certificate, but have the option to browse without it as well. If there is no way to do it, is there a way to toggle whether Firefox trusts a CA without needing to reinstall it every time?

This happens occasionally for many months. It is still happening on v147.0.1. I start the computer, open Firefox, and the browser loads previously viewed pages, including my Gmail account. The Gmail page has me already logged in, and I DID NOT provide my password! This has to be a big security risk. If some one were to use my computer, or it was stolen, they would have complete access to my Gmail and all Google properties! OS - Debian GNU/Linux 12 (bookworm) Kernel v6.1.0-42-amd64 Firefox v147.0.1 (and MANY previous versions)

Firefox is the ine major browser on the market that DOESN'T have much of this stuff and actually kinda cares about privacy. Why take that away? You're only driving away your main userbase. If you continue shoving AI down our throats like everyone else I'm gonna have to find an alternative.

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!

II must have been onto a dangerous site ??? but anyway I was using another browser and Firefox popped up with messages indicating a virus. As I am a retired head of IT, I closed internet and uninstalled Firefox. I then scanned my Pc with 3 different antivirus packages, My default installed is Sophos. Then there is teh standard MS , plus I installed ESET. All cleared my machine with no issues. I then re- installed Firefox, , it picked up my data and the virus message popped up again. I immediately uninstalled it again. I use REVO to uninstall, which scans for left overs, which I delete as well. Now I HAVE TO ASSUME that Revo is NOT clearing ALL FIREFOX files/data off my PC. Please advise where it is and how I can delete it completely, which is causing the messages to pop up again as soon as i install Firefox.

All of a sudden many warnings of virus and some Trojan virus had infiltrated my computer. Is this something Mozilla will alert me to or is it a hoax? What should I do next? I tried to dismiss or just x out and more popped up. So I just turned my computer off

Since several days every time I visit a webpage I see that there is a popunder from syscsrv.com!

What can I do to stop this?

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Michael Staudt and I would like to get support form you in the following matter. For about one week now I get some strange, reappearing sites mentioned in my chronic – even though I have never opened these addresses in tabs myself. Please see the addresses (CAUTION PLEASE) and the screen shot attached.

„https://syscsrv.com/vhtrs/?wm=%7Eu%3E%5Bp&pub=wu%3E%5Bp&ci=%3BL%5Bu3Nv%3De4nC%7C%5CE%2Cuh%60UQTXau%259Nl%2FV%7DK%25Z2s&ppos=ww9Gi&l=K%5B&ve=8NWp&an=Zo%7C&id=41957816409559210160666061561591261080&its=9F%5Bu%2AMo5c%3BbA%7EQD%3BumPWbV%60&cup=o%2C%3FRpArIX6%7D5%7Dr%2Aq%5Ed452%2B57kSt-%600ia%22O7aEC86B%3E2%291%3APi%2B%60z%40RvH%7C%60jl%22%22r_%29%2C%2F9VXYs3QvbuAwO..fR%3E1C%22rbev%247%219X%3EKk%21Fz%3ApR&phash=2ba37b6dce3f679ad18d0b8774c510f9132da35022d5abe0bf35e1b6d3d95db7“

and an omious new tab with the address: „http://127.0.0.1:42842/lp?u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“

I tried to search the internet for „syscsrv“ as a potential thread and I have found some entries in forums of people who seem to have the same issue. However, in the forums there were no solutions for the issue mentioned. Are these two addresses potentially dangerous/ malicious or are these potentially firefox bugs?

Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely, Michael Staudt
