Firefox Community Forum

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)

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?

Using the "re-open tab" function on a browser based discord instance changed a bunch of my settings, for one it turned on vertical tabs, added extra side bars to everything, and made every ui element animated. Ive figured out of how turn vertical tabs back off, and while I was writing this, I figured out where to turn off this stupid animated gizmo to select what I actually want, instead of directly bringing up my bookmarks/history. How do I stop a random website from overriding my settings in the future? If discord can do it through incompetence another website can surely do it maliciously and I really dont fancy this happening again. The "best" (and completely unrelated) I've found on how to undo this, let alone prevent it from happening again is pressing esc or f11 because of course everything these days has to drown in AI slop :/

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.

When I am signed into Firefox, I am constantly getting error messages about viruses that have bee detected on my machine, Error 404 Found, Via 1iz1np7uj6vg7f.sessionlabs.co.in, and such. Is there a way for me to stop this activity? Does Firefox have and protection software that could help? I have attached two screen shots of the type of messages I am getting. Thank you for any help you could pass my way.

Pop-ups saying: "Mozilla Firefox SYSTEM WARNING! [or 'CRITICAL ISSUE' or 'Trojan Detected'] Click here to perform an antivirus scan! [or 'Click here to remove them!' or 'Fix it now!'] via d9bf06ghubcc73ddmqtg,luntrixdaily.co.in [NB: this address is in all 3 varieties of pop-up] [followed by 2 tabs] Scan Now - Dismiss & Remove viruses now - Update Windows

plus several others, e.g. "McAfee Critical Virus Alert" & "Viruses found (#)" , etc.

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.)

It's said get the browse, because they watch my page, or website which is trying to check out like jobs, program, address. And google sent me to get from browse the website.🤔 Kindly let me know.

I,ll Really appreciate it.

How do I turn off all warning and redirects for unsecured web sites. I am an embedded developer and 90% of what I do is work on designs that can be configured via a localhost web page. I'm tired of the warnings and the constant attempt to turn http into https.

I have three scam windows that won't go away one Mozilla Firefox critical alert via d99aceohubcc73fia7fg.sessionlabs.co.in two mozilla firefox ATTENTION

I was looking for information (search engine Duck Duck-Go) about plants and suddenly I got a massage which says my iphone is hacked. I was not able to acrivate any button, besides the ok button, which I did not trigger of course. I tried to find info (pc) about the address but I shows a black screen. Than I removed firefox and re-installed it. Now the massage is gone. I have no idea where this massage comes from and if it will install malware if I would have used the ok button. It might happen again and it would be nice to know what to do Thanks in advance….
