I have been using Firefox on both Windows and Android phones. I recently lost an S-23 to a virus. When I was setting up Firefox on the new phone I got a message that Firefox had detected the Vezeen virus on the old phone and the new phone. I immediately cleared the history and cache but the message still remained so I uninstalled Firefox.

 Vezeen is identified as a phishing virus and the effect on the old phone was that it switched from site to site so fast it was almost impossible to put commands into the phone. I traded the old phone in so it is impossible to know if it has been thoroughly scrubbed.
  Thus far I have seen no effect on the new phone or Windows device.
  Suggestions?  Open a new account or what?  I have tried swearing with no success. I am going to leave Firefox off Android devices until I have more confidence.

Was prompted to download a program to Firefox before I paid my phone bill. I did not recognize the web address or name that was shown, and the account number from which recent payment was deducted did match any accounts I hold or held in the past. I cancelled the action immediately, without downloading, but am still concerned. I found nothing on the internet about this, just got a summation chat AI response that stated the phone company had no download/extension for Firefox. Has anyone had any experience like this or could someone shed some light on this?

'bold text'bold textHow do I fix this step by step? To create an AppArmor profile for Firefox:

In /etc/apparmor.d/, create a file with the name firefox-local

In the file, add the following:

1. This profile allows everything and only exists to give the
2. application a name instead of having the label "unconfined"

abi <abi/4.0>, include <tunables/global> profile firefox-local /home/<USER>/bin/firefox/{firefox,firefox-bin,updater} flags=(unconfined) { userns, # Site-specific additions and overrides. See local/README for details. include if exists <local/firefox> }

Replace <USER> with your Linux user name. This assumes the Firefox install is at $HOME/bin/

Once you have saved the file, run sudo systemctl restart apparmor.service in the Linux terminal.

woke up after doozing watching a yt video and on my pc i couldn't oppen firefox and it kept crashing so i just booted my pc again

After that i could open firefox but it had a yellow simbol on the three dot setting sections that stated "new tab has downloaded a new component"

i searched online and they said it could be an hijacker i refreshed firefox and run an anlysis with the base windows antivirus

the antivirus say's i'm clean but i still kinda unsure:

  was it really an infection? i ask myself if it could be just a firefox bug i checked extention before refreshing and the only one was 7tv and nothing else

  if it was an hijacker how can i fully know if i'm clean? what better steps can i take?
