On my new Scorptec rtx A2000 workstation installed Firefox and Thunderbird and for 2days everything was fine apart from the annoying notice that came up every time I opened Firefox as me to make it the default browser ,which i turned off. however about the next day another window appeared in upper right corner of the screen that looked very authentic with the Firefox Logo and screen colors which stated that I had not yet fully activate all options in Firefox. on opening it there were 4 options to tick off .

First was making it default browser which ticked

Then there were 3 highly recommended extensions with reviews of each and a quoted number of users that highly recommended them second was enabling an Anti Key stroke Logger app which I ticked third I think gave them full access to PC which I ignored Last i cant remember but I ticked as it looked harmless. Within an hour the Firefox screen turned white and was activated by

quick-hp.com//?path=firefox/  then more info etc.

Just incase the have installed a key logger etc have decided on full removal and reinstall of win11 etc Be Warned


path=firefox/.........etc...etc

I have gone into about:config and changed all the telemetry entries et al to false to prevent as much datareporting as possible - what I want to do is prevent Firefox (135) from creating the 'datareprting' folder in my profile folder. I delete it every time I go into Firefox, which is an everyday pain because it returns with EVERY new session. I delete it 1. because they don't need it, and 2. more importantly, firefox is NOTICEABLY faster once it is deleted. People have been asking this since like FF 40. Can anyone solve this?
