Hi all. I recently tried to access an instrument company's webpage, and Firefox stopped me. I thought it was just doing the "overprotective" thing, since there's been times it's done it to perfectly fine sites that i go to all the time. I got a weird notification about it being a porn virus, and closed the window. Ever since, i keep getting these notifications, all of them the same as the first. They're all coming from Firefox, and they're all spammy-- i don't even *have* Norton.

I've scanned with the antivirus app i *do* have, i've cleared Firefox's cache, i've restarted my phone. I'm not sure what else to do, since i've never had this happen before. I've used the desktop version for over 10 years, and never had anything similar to this happen.

Thank you for your help!
