Since one of the latest updates, Firefox keeps randomly showing me a popup saying "pin this tab", pointing to a tab I just opened. I close it with its X button, but after a while it just pops up again. I don't want to pin a tab, ever - I have bookmarks for a reason and I don't see any point in this feature. How do I stop this incredibly annoying popup from bugging me constantly to do something I never want to do?

How do I ensure that I receive email notifications when there's a response to a question I've posted on this forum?

In my profile settings, "edit settings," I've checked the box "watch forum threads I start," and in "manage watch list" I've checked "questions."

I see I've received a response to a question I posted, but I've received no email. How do I ensure that I receive emails?

"Email me when someone answers the thread" on this page has also been selected.

Also, why are their two separate setting sections as noted above? And why am I only subscribed to the one question (under "manage watch list") I posted earlier today when I've been subscribed to my previous questions in the past? I can't even find an option to subscribe to my other previously asked questions.

It seems certain sites are prone to fire popup tabs, with any click, right clicks included. I close them immediately and the second click acts normal, getting the nav result I was asking for. How to strength the popup blocking function to stop this distracting behavior? Thanks for any pointers. This may prevent me from staying on FF.

The small green dot in the upper right that notifies me of a pending update is gone, since several months. When I navigate to About Firefox, or in the settings, I can see that a new version is available and it lets me install the update. But I miss being able to see the notification.

Did I disable some setting by mistake? Auto-updates should be turned on as far as I know.

Is the easiest solution to unsubscribe and then resubcribe?

Roughly every two weeks, when accessing gmail, I get this popup in the upper right of the screen. I have tried clicking dismiss, I have tried the dropdown to "see fewer hints", neither thing makes any difference. Please stop interrupting me to tell me about this feature - I am very happy with my current method of accessing my email.

Is there any way to disable this notification, forever?

I do not have this message. Have I turned something off, not set a option, or is there a problem with Firefox?

How can I tell if a web page is not being displayed correctly because of a missing pop-up?

My browser (on a second device) is sending me messages that a Trojan has been discovered - will not stop so I uninstalled it. If I download a new browser will the same messages continue? Has this breached the whole of my Mozilla Firefox account?

I am not sure how the architecture works and to clear the other device.
