I am getting pop up after pop up using Firefox even though the pop up blocker is on. I am afraid that I need to use a different browser even though I have used Firefox for lots of years. I was especially annoyed that on more than one occasion a pop up happened when I was trying to get on my bank website. The pop up stated that access to my bank account had been blocked and I needed to call a phone number to have it unblocked.

Google has falsely flagged my own website. I need to disable Safe Browsing just to access it, so I set browser.safebrowsing.malware.enabled to false, but Firefox Android keeps reverting it to true on every restart. I really dislike this overbearing behavior. Does anyone know how to disable it permanently?

Maybe settings?

I started getting a different login screen for yahoo and so I was on the lookout for the https:// that would ensure I'm at a real website. I noticed that I don't get any https:// on anything in my FF esr 140. Even if I enter it with the address, it disappears as soon as I click to open the website. I tried out Edge and the https:// is there. Is there some reason this is being removed in FF, as it is something reassuring and doesn't take up much space.

Thank you!

Also McAffee notification with all these popups stating that my McAffee protection expired yesterday - I have never had a McAffee notification for a virus or pair for protection from them. Popups are happening every 10 seconds continuously! looks like about 20 or more popups describing different problems with 20 digit numbers and letters as a serial number of the problem!
