I have a Samsung Galaxy S20FE5G and use the Firefox browser with Google search. While browsing on Firefox, I clicked on a website in my search and a flashing pop up appeared saying the phone has been infected with a virus and to "click here." Obviously I did not click on the pop up since I suspected this was a scam for infection in itself. So I immediately closed all windows/tabs and then turned off my phone. I restarted my phone in safe mode and made sure all the apps were those factory installed or those I installed. I turned it on again to run a scan as suggested by Samsung but found out that the installed Samsung "Device Care" did NOT have a scan function for viruses. I checked Firefox to see if there was a message or warning and saw none. Then I turned my phone off again.

3 BIG Questions: 1. What should I do? 2. Should I be concerned? 3. Should I change all my passwords? If so, then the problem is I need to use my phone for 2 factor ID and I would need to turn it on again in normal mode.

(FYI I used the guide in this article: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-use-the-smart-manager-application-to-check-for-malware-or-viruses/ to determine the steps I took so far. )

Navigation buttons inconveniently at the bottom of the screen

I can't find a way to move the navigation buttons from the bottom of the screen, where they shouldn't be, to the top of the screen. Tab selection should go back to the top, too. Am I just missing something? Can I do something in about:config?

Imagine always having access to navigation buttons at the top of the screen. You even downloaded an app that put system UI buttons at the top of the screen, too! It agrees with your rapidly aging joints because it's easier to have your hands closer to their default orientation.

Look at your hand right now. What orientation is it in? Did you look at the side of your pointer finger and your thumb? No. You likely looked at your palm. Furthermore, many blind people who use phones will type with accessibility features that often result in their hands being in the default orientation. The screens will be facing away and they'll use 6 or 8 fingers on the touchscreen to type.

Having navigation buttons at the top of the screen can be more accessible to some people because it is more compatible with the default orientation of the human hand. (Also disappointed that I can no longer put Gboard most of the way up the screen. But that's a problem that won't get fixed because Google is too big to have useful support and dev teams)

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask this. The support website dumped me here.

Ummm don't forget to uhh [generic advice here] because it's good for stuff and things :)
