is this really from Firefox
This same tab has opened several times when I have clicked on links on different websites. This last time I took a screenshot. I am not sure if it is directing to the same URL as the others, but I did not click on the link because it looks suspicious. I would like to know if it actually is authentic. The URL is https://dogoajavcute.org

No, that's malware, don't download or run it.

I tried to upload an image but I think it was too big. I'll try a smaller one

Thank you for confirming my suspicions. Is there a method of reporting these? They seem to pop up fairly often.
There have been a lot of reports here in the past week, and new URLs seem to appear daily. The numeric parts of the URLs seem to be linked to the user who finds them, so if I click the links, the page is not found. I suspect they are computed based on your IP address and/or a cookie as a way to make it difficult for others to investigate.
Can you figure out what led to loading that page, for example, an ad on a particular site or in a specific game?
Microsoft 10 is blocking a supposed patch listed from PK Partnership 000 - is this also malware?

I deleted cookies right after each incident, and I'm not sure what ad or item I may have clicked on. I recall the most recent website and I'll try to get it to pop up again.

I don't know what that is, but if there is any suspicion about it, I wouldn't run it.

If you didn't clear the history, that might have the previous page(s) in sequence. Firefox's Library dialog only shows the most recent visit to a page, so if you loaded that page again after the incident, it would be out of order in the list, unfortunately.
To open the Library dialog, you can use either:
- Ctrl+Shift+h
- History menu > Show All History
