I get scam messages that say "Trojan virus detected!" on Mozilla Firefox which I cannot delete. I have run antivirus scans which show there is no virus or malware. I have shut down the desk top. How can I go to reinstall Mozilla Firefox default settings or do you have another solution?

Keep getting pop-ups on the right side, three at a time, mostly McAfee, but some others. I've shut off pop-ups in "Settings," but they keep happening. I hit dismiss, but they immediately return.

how do i permanently remove this kind of unwanted garbage,i have no interest in it and its annoying

i do not care about football, i have never shown any interest in football, why am i getting football related recommendations by the browser

Firefox has taken to sending pop-ups of breaking news, which I then have to clear manually (Win 10) How can I stop this.

I have looked in settings, but can't find an off switch for this "new" toy. At least the Thunderbird notifications disappear after a few seconds! These just pile up till they block the entire right hand side of my screen - and then they keep going, and block other more important notifications in the main notifications bit.

I keep getting messages from the Sun Sentinel through Mozilla-Firefox and I don't want them.

How do I stop them?

I went to the security tab and see the list of exceptions and the Sun-sentinel.com website does not exist.

I keep getting what appears to be notification (of news items?) popping up in the lower right hand corner of my screen. Is this a function of Firefox and if so can I disable it?

I have notification that someone charged to my apple account. Sure it’s a scam but I cannot delete it from Firefox app. I’ve shut phone down and closed the app but it still is on my phone

I'm using an out of date Windows 10 laptop. I am aware of the Windows 10/11 thing. I know. I've got my own reasons for not updating this one, it's not my only device. I get it. I understand. I know. My settings are how they are on purpose. I do not need to be nagged in this fashion.

How do I turn this off? I can't find it in settings. It's not appearing on any of my other browsers. It's just Firefox. Please help, it's driving me crazy.

Thanks in advance.

Hello: FF dev 150b5,w11p. With this v 150 there's a new irritant that I would like to stop, please. That's the sudden (starting w/v150 again) appearance on lower L corner, of a popup window, which may be interactive. That is, this thing is so new I can't say more about it except that I didn't change anything to make this thing appear, & this didn't happen in prev.versions.

I looked in settings & the only thing on keyword "popup" goes to, in "search results", is: "block popups & 3rd party redirects." I already had that choice checked from previous versions (that is, do block). But this new popup appeared (unasked) anyway.

Is there an extension that will stop these? If so, what keyword(s) do I put into the "search extensions" box to find the extension(s)?

Also, w/this new "wonder" of unasked-for popups -- is this another "coming w/AI" feature I will have to live with?

I did a search here on "popups" before posting,but came up w/nothing relevant.

Thank you.

/edit:fixed a formatting issue causing horizontal scrolling

I use Firefox for viewing my Rogers/Yahoo web mail in an open tab. I have granted Yahoo mail permission to send notifications and I get a Windows 11 toast notifications when there is a new email in my inbox.

The problem that I cannot figure out is that the notifications take the form of "X undefined", where X is the sender's name. There is something that is appending the word undefined to the sender's name in the notification. I also note that these notifications are "sticky", that is, they remain visible until dismissed. I would prefer that they dismiss after a few seconds and remain in the notification centre.

I am using Windows 11 Home edition with the latest updates.

Why when you click on the extensions button (jigsaw puzzle icon) in the toolbar to open the extensions panel the “Personalize Your Firefox” screen appears ???

When you right click a gear icon in a particular extension, the drop down menu has no "pin to tool bar" option, it only shows "copy/select all/print..." options ???

Thnak you.

I get pop-up "alerts" in Firefox from the NY Post--thousands--so many that simply dismissing them without looking at them is time consuming. I don't see any way to stop them, no "unsubscribe" and nothing in Firefox settings, but there must be a way. Can you help me?
