I am using Firefox on Android with uBlock Origin

I was going to my local supervisor of elections website (to confirm if my ballot was received) (http://www.votealachua.com/). I have been to this page countless times, and today for the first time (and only time) I got an odd pop-up saying something along the lines that if I am using a JS script to look at instructions at the top of the page or something like that.

I've tried refreshing that page a bunch of time to get it to come back but to no avail. I am wondering if this is uBlock related or how I can find out what it is.

Earlier this afternoon, I accidentally clicked on a link on phishing email at my academic email, which opened into a Firefox tab. I realized it was a phishing attack, so I closed it right away and immediately cleared out all of Firefox's data.

I am trying to find out if these two are related. After the pop-up, I have uninstalled and reinstalled the Firefox app. Anyone have any input?

Hi

You may want to try looking at the page without the add-on enabled. It may be blocking some content from being displayed and leading to the message that you are seeing.

I tried it with Chrome too without any add-ons, no pop-up. It only showed up once in Firefox.

I did a complete factory reset and set it up as a new device. I reinstalled uBlock and I got no pop-up. It is really weird that I cannot replicate the problem.
