How is that a Firefox browser issue?

How is that a Firefox browser issue? Well I guess because Pocket is part of Mozilla.

Is the problem with the Pocket site in general, like the home page (https://getpocket.com/home) or specifically the sign-in page (https://getpocket.com/login), or when you use one of the specific login methods?

It has happened when I tried to log in from the sign in page and from the home page. Now it seems that I am logged in to Pocket but if I click the button to save something then I get the AVG block pop-up. Also, on my home page all that is there is the "Good evening Edna Lynn" message, the header and then from Discover Topics down... no story recommendations

This is the URL that it says is a URL:SCAM

  https://getpocket.com/graphql?consumer_key=94110-6d5ff7a89d72c869766af0e0&enable_cors=1

The f0e0& part of it I don't know if they are zeroes or capital O's... I typed zeroes

I hope I am making sense. Should I check with AVG? I only have their free version and they have really been trying to sell me services lately so wasn't wanting to deal with them. :)

You guessed correctly; hexadecimal (base 16) numbers are written with 0-9 and a-f.

That aside, I don't know why they are objecting to that address. Hopefully some more definitive info will become available. I do see it mentioned in two threads on AVG's forum, but I don't know if it well get any official attention there:

If your version of AVG has site exceptions, you could enter one for getpocket.com. See:

https://support.avg.com/SupportArticleView?l=en&urlname=avg-antivirus-scan-exclusions

If you try that, does it make any difference?

Thanks so much for your help! I'll check out AVG's help tomorrow. I've rarely had any problems with Firefox and have used it since 2004 or 5. When something was wonky, I'd just wait a few days and presto, change-o a new update would show up and everything would be copacetic again!

Thanks for your time and the links,
