I'm suddenly getting repeated/multiple Mozilla Firefox "Browser Alerts", "System Warnings," and "McAfee Critical Virus Alerts" that are wrong and dysfunctional. They pop up every few seconds. They contain "Remove virus now" and "quick scan" buttons, but these only take me to a bright red screen that says:

"Deceptive site ahead Firefox blocked this page because it may trick you into doing something dangerous like installing software or revealing personal information like passwords or credit cards."

These come even though I haven't tried to access any "deceptive sites." I have to x all of them out to clear my screen.

There's obviously a defect in your warning system. How do I stop this?

Why did a Tiger favicon show up on my recent history after logging into my Yahoo ATT email?

When I went to log into my email it would not let me without confirming my profile information by hitting the "Submit" button. I tried to find a way around this but was not able to. The information had my name, an erroneous zip code of 99999, and my phone number. Since the info was minimal I went ahead and hit submit. It said a confirmation would be sent to my phone, but I did not receive anything. I then logged into my email, but as I was logging in it said, "logging out" and then logged me in. I opened a new tab to research if the ATT profile confirmation was legit or a scam. I was unable confirm either. However, when I opened the new tab I noticed the Tiger favicon between two ATT favicons on my recent history. I attempted to confirm whether this Tiger favicon was part of ATT or Yahoo but could not find out anything it. I am concerned someone may have hacked my email and phone. Can anyone confirm whether this Tiger favicon is legit or who it belongs to?? (photo attached)

Several days ago a trio of "warnings" all labeled Mozilla Firefox popped up on my monitor. They included "Critical Error! Remove viruses now", "Warning! Virus Detected Clean Your Device" (with the choice of Renew Now {? renew what?} or Update Windows), "Warning! Your system is damaged by virus attack via d9BvqdcBn2sc73dc4btg.korvapod.co.in Remove the virus now", "Trojan Detected! (choose Remove virus now or Quick Scan), and variations on all of the above. I ran a malware scan from another provider and their advice was that this was an attempted hack so under no circumstances should I click on anything. They definitely said it wasn't from Mozilla Firefox. BUT they also couldn't find any traces anywhere in my computer. So for the past 5 days, I've been functioning with a partial screen, maybe 3/5 of full screen, because those darned "warnings" cannot be physically moved off the screen. How can I get rid of this mess? Thanks.

Hi.

I'm having trouble with https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/linux-security-warning?as=u&utm_source=inproduct#firefox:linux:fx140.

It assumes the installation is at "/home/<USER>/bin/firefox/{firefox,firefox-bin,updater}" but mine is "/home/<USER>/.local/share/torbrowser/tbb/x86_64/tor-browser/Browser/firefox.real".

How exactly do I edit the line?

(Latest Ubuntu. I also have Librewolf and Firefox, but didn't see the warning as on Tor.)

On iphone, I noticed when i swipe out of the window to look at another open app (i dont close firefox when doing this) firefox puts up some kind of privacy screen that prevents me from seeing what i was browsing. is annoying because sometimes i need to compare what i’m looking up with another open app like in my photos or something. It’s also visually annoying when i just pull down the control bar to mess with a setting and it privates the screen. Can i turn this off? This happens in normal tabs, I don’t typically use private tabs nor am i in one when this happens.

Turn of privacy screen on iOS with regular Firefox

I’m recently unable to see the content of my regular Firefox screen when switching apps. For example, I’ve looked something up while searching in Firefox and want to type some of the details in Claude I get a privacy screen like I would with Firefox Focus or my banking app. I don’t want that. I want to be able to quickly view it slightly behind and then go back to my other app rather than put complete focus on Firefox. If I wanted the privacy screen I would use Focus.

See in the provided picture that Safari is showing me the content, Firefox isn’t, while I’m trying to do some work in Claude. I would like to have Firefox do the same as safari and show the content.

Is there a toggle to turn this off? Can one be made? Or what am I missing?

Thanks
