Firefox Community Forum

I am using version 143 for Linux and it is suppose to have improved fingerprinting protection. But when I go to https://coveryourtracks.eff.org i still see a result that says "your browser has a unique fingerprint"

Is there a parameter I should be enabling ?

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?

Yesterday I received non-stop pop ups from <opb-protect.pro> on Firefox, and only Firefox. On going to <Permissions> I checked that I had turned on block pop-ups. It was turned on. But under notifications this sinister pop up had inserted itself as <Allowed>. It has inserted this; <https://d3ka84anaffc73c14rf0.opb-protect.pro>

I had now set that to <Block>. I mention this because this mob have managed to work around the Mozilla pop-up blocker.

I think that i get some virus in my computer, in the last two days some of my accounts were accessed by an unusual way.

I´d like to know if the problem was my passwords kept on firefox, all the apps that were hacked had the password saved on the firefox manager.

There's a way to know if my passwords on the Firefox were stolen ?

Hello, Can Firefox not use Google's safe browsing because there are some big conflict of interests. If website owners do not put google's codes in their website, Google will block their website or flag it as deceptive. This may become a large legal issue later. Only once the website user verifies with Google, will this be cleared. I run over 400 websites (all of the same codes) and the websites that I verify with Google were all blocked with a notice that the sites were deceptive. There are no difference in codes with the site that were verified and none were blocked. So I had to upload Google's codes to each website to clear the blockage. There were no phishing, no spamming, and nothing deceptive about any of the websites. The only difference was they were not verified with Google. Thus this forces website owners to put Google's codes on their website which is giving Google way too much control over the internet. I thought firefox was not controlled by any other company such as Google. If I use other browsers such as Microsoft's Edge, none of my website had any issues. Please do not use Google services as that gives too much control to Google. In addition, Google's Captcha is really another obstacle.

I have picked up some bug(s) on my Firefox that I cannot figure out how to get rid of. With a Firefox ID I have warnings of 3 Trojan Virus detected, Virus detected, hard drive infected, secure data notice and system alert. I also got a warning that my McAfee protection had expired which is very strange. Since switching over in 2010 from Windows to Linux I have never had protection of any kind and unlike Windows have never had a single problem. In addition when I was using Windows the protection that I had was never McAfee. I suspect that these warnings are not from Firefox given the misprints, spelling errors and the poor English. It is likely phishing from some third world country. How do I get rid of this obvious garbage permanently? Many thanks! Kris

Copilot is a virus effecting facebook, market place, openoffice, Firefox

   settings 

apps installed apps turn off copilot running in background turn off copilot run at startup uninstall is also an option I'm thinking of.

In settings, it says Your browser is being managed by your organization. I clicked it and it led me to the policies page. In there it says Policy Name- Certificates, Policy value- ImportEnterpriseRoots and then true. I neither work in an organisation, nor I have any antivirus in my computer. Why is this happening?

I tried to open to a site WWW.RAFY-A.com this morning and got an alert it was not available, but, I am now unable to dismiss or close the following ATTENTION! messages. I did click on the "click here to secure your data! on the top two now it shows a yellow triangle which I'm still unable to close or dismiss. Could someone please explain how to get rid of these. I ran Dell Support Assist but I do not have a virus option. I have not rebooted yet as I wanted to clear this up first and then reboot. Thank you. Irene
