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.

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 :/

Hi,

Firefox 140.17.0esr (32-bit), Windows 11 23H2, trying to open https://babia.to but get a blank screen. By F12 I see this error in the console:


None of the “sha512” hashes in the integrity attribute match the content of the subresource at “https://static.cloudflareinsights.com/beacon.min.js/v4bc70e2c01a94c73b74392e4234840661791215815920”.


If I open it in Chrome 140 it opens fine. What's the issue with my FF and how to have it fixed?

How do I ban permissions for all sites?

What happened to Firefox's permission's page? There's so few options now. I'm being harassed by websites to give them permission that should be blocked across the entire browser. I'm autistic and sensitive to popups/interruptions/distractions. So most permissions I simply had off for everything, because I don't want to be asked anything. I don't want to confirm anything. I don't want any popup of any type. So I turned everything off and it was good. (except blocking cookies of course)

But now sites are asking me again and there's no way to blanket turn off everything. I see I can press "Ctrl+i" to bring up specific permissions for that site, but that's not good enough. I specifically need permissions blocked for sites I've never visited. Needing to visit the site first completely defeats the purpose.

The permissions listed in the settings isn't all of them. How do I turn off ALL permissions for ALL sites. I can turn on specific permissions when I want them. Essentially, how do I recreate functionality that used to exist but was removed from us for whatever reason.

Also, it's a huge security hole! I'm a senior full stack developer. Asking permissions for a user is a great way to fingerprint them. If I accidentally hit "yes" to a few key permissions, I can be fingerprinted. Another reason I should be able to blanket ban these permissions. I just want my browser to be a browser. These permissions do nothing for me but make the experience worse.

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Michael Staudt and I would like to get support form you in the following matter. For about one week now I get some strange, reappearing sites mentioned in my chronic – even though I have never opened these addresses in tabs myself. Please see the addresses (CAUTION PLEASE) and the screen shot attached.

I tried to search the internet for „syscsrv“ as a potential thread and I have found some entries in forums of people who seem to have the same issue. However, in the forums there were no solutions for the issue mentioned. Are these two addresses potentially dangerous/ malicious or are these potentially firefox bugs?


Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely, Michael Staudt

I can guess the video player app is being used in some kind of attack.

Btw I googled this and saw others complaining about it but basically no info.
