I've been using Firefox for years with absolutely no problems. Today, my wife was trying to do a search, and, instead of seeing search results she was directed to a page called FunSafe Tab, which I understand is a browser highjacked. How can I get rid or this, or am I stuck with Chrome and/or Safari?

Imitating Firefox

As I was using Firefox today I got this. https://search.soddeskfine.live/vupmsilr/?utm_campaign=y0rsMyowMImIDv9DTSX69oig88PrjKrJ9agQ3DpV-9I1&t=back4&f=1&sid=t… (read more)

which is clearly imitating Firefox and can be harm to our PCs. Please look into this. Thanks.

What is this tab, and why is it hidden? My usually good Google-fu didn't turn up much other than TrustArc is a cookie consent component with a terrible reputation for slowing down some sites that use it.

Can someone offer more information? Thanks.

Bookmark with bank log-in created by someone else

I noticed an Other Bookmarks folder in my bar yesterday. Clicking on it showed 3 bookmarks: One labeled as move: https://www.lyricsondemand.com/tvthemes/rawhidelyrics.html One for Google And one for my bank account with log in information all filled in so that you only had to click submit to get into my bank account

I didn't create any of these. What is most disturbing is my bookmark for my bank account log in is first enter username, hit submit, then password is auto-filled in the next screen, hit submit to log in and see account details.

Again, I didn't create any of these!!! How can I see when they were created?

Can I see how they were created?

Anything else?

This is of course very disturbing!

I have changed my log in and password and checked off every notification feature in my online banking privacy area.

Thank you

Shaun

I'm talking about how when you go to fill out a text input, it'll suggest that input next time you go to a similar field. Well, that system just saved my social security number as an input after I filled out a government form. I would like to turn this feature off now, and delete the history of it if I can. Is there a way I can do that?

I'd attach an example image of a different website, but the box goes away when trying to take a screenshot.

Firefox default website and all Firefox log ins are discarded from my FF account and are replaced by Microsoft with settings in Edge and the dreaded Bing. My default web browser is FF and has been for many years. Can I save my FF data to somewhere in FF so that my info is safe from MS and Google?
