I keep getting messages from one of my credit cards saying a new computer was detected, saying it was Foxfire (or Mozilla) and Windows 10. The computer I'm using is running Windows 11 - why do I get Windows 10 in these messages?

I am constantly getting pop-ups which say they are from McAfee. It automatically puts something on my task bar. As soon as I clear it off, it reappears. It blocks my screen. (V-e-r-y annoying.) How can I block these pop-ups. Thank you.

I'm in the midst of getting used to a new computer and setting it up as I want and like it. (My old one just stopped dead and nothing could be retrieved from it.) My question: how does one stop Google from auto suggesting in Firefox? See the attached photo...I've typed a "g" and there's a whole list of useless suggestions shown. Based on what I've read, I've turned off what I think are all the settings relating to auto suggestions yet it's still operational. Previously, I never had this problem with Firefox, but now with the new machine (HP using Windows 11) it's back to haunt me. Thanks for any assistance.

cheers, Iain.

How do I prevent any and all inline animations from autoplay? When I right-click the offending image there are options for "Play" and "Loop". I can stop the animation by unchecking "Loop" but I do not want it to play ever. I only want to see static images on a web page unless I initiate the animation.

I would like sign in using a Yubi Key, and without using a smart phone. (this should also include having a spare Yubi Key) The whole reason I got a Yubi Key is I don't have or want a smart phone (I do have one but it sits a home doing nothing). I also don't think its a wise move to have my login mechanism that authenticates me on an internet accessible general computing device. If that gets compromised then my account is compromised.

But when I tried to add 2FA to my account it asks me to use an authentication app. I stopped there when I get to my phone I might try and see if I can get around it. I don't want to use an authentication app I just want to use a Yubi Key.

Also what will happen to my account if one day my phone just stops working or I lose it?
