Hello,

I'm on Fedora and sometimes, I have gnome's notifications that are advertisements. When I click on one of them, Firefox opens and go to an URL : the page displayed looks like a spam/newsletter.

According to gnome community advice (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=789525), I disabled/deleted all my firefox notifications but it could be not enough because of a malware or something like that.

Can you help me to know if I have firefox malwares or not, to be sure that deleted firefox notifications is enough to be safe now ?

Thanks for helping
