Firefox Community Forum

I am satandalone user win 10 am administrator for my personal pc Firefox has been hacked and says it is managed by my organization. Norton nor bitdefender can get rid of the malware that has done this. Is there a patch or malware fixing bit of software that can clean this infection from my computer please. Chrome has the same problem so I have had to uninstall it an forget about it.

Googling the problem just comes up with all sorts of unintelligible to me tecky stuff Im not going near.

I see on the forums this is huge problem no one seems to have easy answer for.

Why does Firefox not have a version without this vulnerability for the millions of standalone personal users. Regards Mike Milletr

I've been good about avoiding being hacked or having major problems. I'm on a Mac, with the latest update. I use 1Password. I check all the urls on questionable email. I use 2fa, and check for data briefs.

Firefox has built-in security. So does Apple. And Firefox has all sorts of extensions that provide security. Privacy Badger is from the EFF. I don't know if they all do the same thing or cover things not covered. The descriptions say they protect me, but how do I know? At times, I probably have overkill.

And this doesn't even address VPNs.

Searching for "Security" in extensions shows a list of about 2,000 extensions. "Privacy" returns a list of more than 2,600. I would think that if you were confident in your security, there wouldn't be so many, and/or you wouldn't list them. Do you have a gap that we need to find an extension to cover?]

There needs to be some consistency and clarity as to what you protect against and what they claim they protect against so we know which one we really need. It feels like buying a car and being told to go find our own tires in a vast warehouse, and then search for the gears we want, etc. When we get on a plane, we don't select our own seatbelts. If on a cruise ship, we don't choose our lifevests. If that were the case, no one would get on boats or planes. By letting us fend through thousands of security programs, you shift the responsibility to us. And very few of us have enough training or knowledge to do so.

I don't expect you to be perfect, but helping us through this maze would be great. I probably know more than the average person, but it feels that

Recently getting a warning of virus. https://aiwebfreeinstalls.autos/1igfp2gfa/l?btd=dHJrLmNvbG9ueS1zY29yZS1yZWxhdGVkLWRvbmtleS5ydW4&exptoken=MTczNTY5NjQ2MDA1MA%3D%3D&lang=en&lid=bf3dcebb-0892-4a88-9a74-4f2979083dc1&ltd=dHJrLmxlYWQtd2hpbGUtc3ltYm9sLWF0LnJ1bg&pd2q=YTE9YmYzZGNlYmItMDg5Mi00YTg4LTlhNzQtNGYyOTc5MDgzZGMxJmEyPTk0MGY4ZmU4LTJhMzEtNDE4Ny1iOTVjLTQ2ZjZjZmQzNzVmNiZhMz0&td=dHJrLmV2ZXItZXhwcmVzcy1hbHJlYWR5LWZpbmVzdC5ydW4vc253ZGFydGY&lvc=fc594690

Hello,

I downloaded the Firefox installer from the official website (https://www.mozilla.org/ru/firefox/download/thanks/). After downloading, I checked the SHA256 hash of the file: 051deb55cf9579e1f9b3bad71ec4a390353c568ef21849671953d08343b4e890.

However, this hash does not match any of the hashes listed on the official page: https://ftp.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/133.0.3/SHA256SUMS.

Additionally, a VirusTotal scan flagged the file with a potential virus alert.

Could you clarify why there might be a discrepancy in the hash and whether this file could be legitimate?

Thank you.

I need to block doordash, which is now blended with another delivery app. I am not sure I need either app. They are showing up in my search bar. How can I remove them? Thanks.

Is there something i can do with firefox to stop this information being looked at or used.

Hey everyone, I need some help with a puzzling issue. I've noticed that a website (https://storiescastle.com/coco-miguel-and-the-amazing-alebrijes-story/) I'm working on functions perfectly fine when I use Google Chrome, but when I try to access it using Mozilla Firefox, I encounter a '404 error' or sometimes the layout is broken with images displaying incorrectly. Can anyone shed some light on what might be causing this discrepancy? Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

Hi, I'm working with a website sponsored by the American College of Surgeons. Some of the parts of that website are blocked by Mozilla. Is there a way to trust that website completely?

As my title says, i manage to make my Tabs length to be as long as possible, i even manage to make it when i scroll with my mouse wheel one tab at a time, but after accepting to update Firefox, my tabs shrink when i play a video! or when i open a new youtube video in a new tab, that is only on youtube,

So how do i stop this? i do not need my tabs to shrink when i play a video

Unable to find list of blocked email addresses. Went to "settings" / "Security & Privacy". No luck. I have no problem in deleting addresses. UNBLOCKING is eluding me.

Hi, I just installed the latest update (I think it's 136.0.2). I guess I skipped some/several versions. Suddenly my main menu isn't workin anymore (clicking it with the mouse, that is) There is some overlay which I can't find out, how to remove. Even the Minimize/Maximize/Close buttons don't have any function. Luckily I can still access the menu via keyboard shortcuts. How can I remove that overlay bar ... or did I catch some malware ?
