Things like, "set firefox as your default browser" and "open firefox when you start your computer?".

I don't want pop-ups from ANYBODY, but especially not from the browser. It defeats the whole purpose of blocking pop-ups if the browser itself is interrupting me with garbage I dont need.

How do I turn these off? There don't appear to be any settings, and every google search brings up disabling pop-ups for every other site.

Running Windows 11. Receiving notifications from Firefox that indicate system warnings and viruses found. I have run several scans using Norton and there are no viruses. This notification is enticing me to click to remove the errors, which seems to clearly be a phishing scam, but I have never seen this as a notification from my browser as opposed to an email. When I try an option to "disable notifications", Norton blocks it due to it being identified as a dangerous "blacklist URL". I can't find a mozilla setting to block this.

The URL is long but what I can see is the following. via d3nt17anaffc73eqftbg.owx-adguard.pro

I keep getting 'notifications' from Mozilla Firefox that McAfee has discovered a virus, Trojan, and other things. They come on the lower right corner of my screen and the address d3mj6kghubcc73dtudhg.kaironero.co.in is along the bottom of the notification. The notifications pop up every time I turn on my computer and go into Firefox and they just keep coming after I dismiss them. They are in small rectangles and have Mozilla Firefox written across the top left and say that McAfee has discovered.... Are they legit or are they spam and how do I stop them? I don't have McAfee installed on my computer which is a desktop. Please help--this is driving me crazy!!!

Hi I bought a PC with McAfee on it, but it had expired.. I use s different anti-virus which is much better. But they have started chasing their subscription, and warning me of viruses which don't exist. I have tried to block it through Mozilla permissions section but couldn't. It sits in the bottom r/h corner of the screen, blocking any chatbox that uses that bit of screen. I can't get rid of it. Can anyone help? Ken

I just received a toast from a sidebar app. Unsolicited notifications are the fastest way to get me to dump your app. I recommend Mozilla implement user-level control to disable notifications from sidebar apps. In theory, Mozilla is already supposed to be respecting my preferences on notifications. I have authorized notifications from only one website, and it wasn't the one for which I received this notification. There's a disconnect there.

Warning notifications always there

Hello, My brother clicked on "I am not a robot" popup after he clicked on an image to enlarge it on a website and then click on "allow" permission to send notification. So now there are always 3 notifications (like warning, viruses found, system alert, etc.) on the screen that will pop back on right after I close one. This is pretty annoying. I went to the firefox settings, in "privacy & security", scrolled down to "permissions" and "notifications" section, changed the status of that website from "allow" to "block", and then (and it may be my fault here, but how could I know ?) clicked on "remove website" just below. Well, now the website is not there anymore, but I am still getting annoying warnings notification that can't be close. We can see the adress (don't know if I can write it up here, but you can see in the photos attached) on the notifications, so I opened up a new tab and wrote it down manually to be able to click on "block" directly, but I am just getting a white page (no window to click "I am not a robot" and no window to ask to allow notifications). I clicked on the little shield icon that is at the left to the address bar and then clicked on "clear cookies and site data", but it did not change anything. I am at loss here. I went back to the website with the image on it that my brother clicked to enlarge, and I clicked this image too. The same thing happened (robot, allowing notification popups), but the address is different (you know when it's a long non sense address... always almost the same but with some different letters/numbers) . So I can block this one, but not the one that is still allowed somehow to send me notifications. I closed firefox then restarted it, no change. Any ideas ? (Sorry the photos are not straight, don't know why because I can see them just fine upon opening)
