Folks, this is a rather alarming setting. I’m not sure if this counts as a bug—if it is, please fix it; if not, please explain why. I’d like to know, as it might be reason enough for me to switch to a different email client. Thanks.

Firefox focus autocompletes potentially malicious URL

When you type in "m.you" into Firefox focus, with the built-in autocomplete settings on, the second result is "m.youtube.coм" - notice the Cyrillic m. This website doesn't load but it could easily become a malicious website. I've had this happen on two different phones, so I believe it is something to do with the pre-built list of autocompletes.

From the day when I started using Thunderbird Mail client, from that moment only, McAfee is notifying me after every 5 seconds of a Trojan Threat

C:\Users \Pankaj Jain \ AppData \ Local \ Temp\ Trojan:Win / SuspiciousAttachmentScript.a

And the moment I uninstalled Thunderbird it stopped notifying it. And then I reinstalled it, same started happening. It hijacks the system and if I am writing, it stops that and wants me to see that notification (which all antiviruses wants to). Even worse is that I cant find any setting in McAfee to stop this notification.

I am frustrated now. Can you help on this?

Recently focus has had warning pages that are entirely red colored. It has happened on pages that should be fine and are in my home page tabs. One example is theGuardian.com, the news site.

The page closes quickly and says something like - this page may have malicious content. The browser page then goes back to the previous page.

My iPad is running iOS 17.7. And I have had focus on it for many years. I don’t think focus updates automatically.

Is this a new feature? Or is theguardian.com now serving malicious pages?

Thanks!

I received an email from Thunderbird (my email provider) wanting me to join the Early Bird Beta but their link to pay with PayPal didn't work so they requested I add a new credit card. I use PayPal often so I know my card on file with PayPal is OK. Seemed odd to me for their request. I could forward their email to me if needed. Looks like they are using Paddle.com Market Limited.

Can’t copy and paste Firefox folders to another location.

The problem: You’re the administrator of your Windows 11 computer, but you can’t copy, rename, or change your browser’s data folders (Firefox, Brave, Chrome, Edge). Windows says “You require permission from [your own name]” or “Access denied.” Closing the browser doesn’t help, and the usual fixes for permission problems don’t work either.

The cause (in my case): It wasn’t Windows. My ESET antivirus (ESET Smart Security Premium) has a setting called “Enhanced data protection.” It’s meant to stop password-stealing programs from reading your browser’s data, but it also blocks you from copying or renaming those folders. Starting your computer in Safe Mode may also let you get around the block, since antivirus programs don’t fully load there.

The fix (ESET): 1. Open ESET and click “Setup” on the left. 2. Click “Advanced setup” at the bottom right. 3. On the left, click “Protections”, then “Browser protection”. 4. Find “Safe Banking & Browsing”, then the section called “Secured browser”. 5. Turn off “Enhanced data protection” and click OK. 6. Try copying or renaming your folder again. It worked for me right away. Afterward, turn the setting back on to stay protected. If you’d rather leave it on, ESET has a “Browser protection allowlist” where you can add programs you trust.

Using a different antivirus? Look in its settings for something about browser protection, banking protection, or protecting browser data. A similar feature may be doing the same thing, though I only confirmed this with ESET. Technical note for those who want it: I confirmed ESET was active by running “fltmc” in an elevated Command Prompt, which listed ESET’s file protection driver (“eamonm”). Another user on Microsoft’s support forum found the same cause with a Chrome profile.
