I'm getting popup ads that open a new page after I punch a link I hit the link and an unrelated page comes up inn addition to the link I intended to open. It even does that when I click on an email. Is there a way for me to stop this? This was happening before I upgraded to the version I'm on now.

I'm blaming the latest Firefox update from a couple of days ago, since this problem only arose yesterday. Now cut off from reading and following news that I really want to receive.

This is what I get when trying to access links within a few of the websites that I regularly access for links to articles it posts:

I run Firefox on a retro Linux system that is currently running a personal "Frankenbuntu". Basically, Kubuntu 14.04 LTS with lots of components updated either "in-tree" or via a pkgsrc-like collection of "ports" installed under /opt/local that includes GTk3, Mesa, VAAPI plugins etc. I use that tree with a combination of built-in rpath settings (for apps installed under /opt/local) and wrapper scripts setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH, so as to maintain the possibility to run system apps independently, in particular while booting. (Sounds complicated, but it's also a rewarding fun project for me, allowing me to keep using an old and familiar DE with modern features on 2017 hardware,)

I have never yet dared to update my glibc from the stock 2.19, so with every Firefox update I fear to run into problems with that. I do have a 2.27 build but that is installed in another parallel prefix (/opt/glibc/2) because one cannot simply use LD_LIBRARY_PATH to use a newer glibc (I think because the ELF interpreter, ld-linux.so, has to match).

I already use patchelf with success to change the ELF interpreter to the 2.27 one, for instance with Ferdium, a Node/Electron application. This works and as far as I can tell, it will load all Mesa and DRI components from my /opt/local tree so hw-accelerated video works as it should.

But when I try this with Firefox, I get what appears to be a sandboxing issue when attempts are made to load Mesa DRI libraries: ``` libva info: VA-API version 1.24.0 libva info: Trying to open /opt/local/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_23 [GFX1-]: VideoBridgeParent receives IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown MESA-LOADER: failed to open iris: libsensors.so.4: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied (search paths /opt/local/lib/dri, suffix _dri) failed to load driver: iris MESA-LOADER: failed to open kms_swrast: libsensors.so.4: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied (search paths /opt/local/lib/dri, suffix _dri) failed to load driver: kms_swrast MESA-LOADER: failed to open swrast: libsensors.so.4: cannot open shared object file: Permission denied (search paths /opt/local/lib/dri, suffix _dri) failed to load swrast driver libva info: VA-API version 1.24.0 libva info: Trying to open /opt/local/lib/dri/iHD_drv_video.so libva info: Found init function __vaDriverInit_1_23 [GFX1-]: VideoBridgeParent receives IPC close with reason=AbnormalShutdown ``` Copying libsensors into /opt/local/lib turns the above error into the same one about the next library available in the system (/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libtinfo.so.5). The DRI module I actually need (iHD) does load but I still get the GFX abnormal shutdown error. I've tried the interpreter change in other applications using libva and don't see the issue.

I do see this in the syslog: ``` Aug 31 15:18:47 Bmbl kernel: [2043645.959690] MediaSu~isor #1[17692]: segfault at 290 ip 00007f2b0815b284 sp 00007f2ad913e990 e rror 4 in ld-2.29.so[7f2b0814f000+21000] Aug 31 15:18:47 Bmbl kernel: [2043645.959702] Code: 04 49 83 fc 06 44 0f 44 c8 81 e6 ff 7f 00 00 45 89 8f 08 04 00 00 48 8d 04 76 4d 89 b7 00 04 00 00 4c 8d 04 c7 4d 85 c0 74 0f <41> 8b 48 08 b8 00 00 00 00 85 c9 4c 0f 44 c0 41 8b 3e 6a 00 48 8d Aug 31 15:18:47 Bmbl kernel: [2043646.080407] MediaSu~isor #1[17732]: segfault at 290 ip 00007f2b0815b284 sp 00007f2ad913e990 e rror 4 in ld-2.29.so[7f2b0814f000+21000] ```

Any idea why this is, and what can be done to prevent this, beyond actually updating my system glibc? I'd have no problems disabling sandboxing.

Be careful. Something doesn’t look right.

Firefox spotted a potentially serious security issue with ib.postbank.ir. Someone pretending to be the site could try to steal things like credit card info, passwords, or emails.

I want to block pop-up windows and third-party redirects.

When i open settings and then Privacy and Security i do not see an option for this

When i search for this i get this reponse: Sorry! There are no results in Settings for “pop-up third-party redirects”.

My question is a. Does firefox have such a setting? b. If so where have you hidden it?

I got an email, supposedly from Microsoft with an update on its terms, from a microsoft.com email address. I clicked on it and it went to a Captcha window. Trying to click on the items (in my case, bicycles in the pictures) triggered multiple warnings that my computer was under an attack and that seven viruses were reported, and I should re-up my subscription with McAffee. I had Trend antivirus enacted on my computer, but discovered the plan was ended by Best Buy and there was no update or way to continue it. I continued to get the notices and clicking on the recommendations to run scans and update McAffee continued to trigger notices of attack. I reactivated my McAffee program, rebooted my computer and opened with Microsoft Edge instead of Firefox. No notices of attack appeared. I ran Windows Update and learned my Windows Defender was current and a scan showed no viruses. The notices of attack only appear when I try to use Firefox. I tried to delete Firefox to see if reinstalling it would resolve the problem but it only allows me to "Refresh" Firefox. What is going on here?

I have been getting Mozilla Firefox pop ups that claim my computer has a Trojan virus. I have updated Windows 11 and run a full scan. My computer is clean. They are trying to force me to buy McAfee.

Why for VPN yet noth any way to keep it on, please? Why needeth turn it on manually without ability keeping it on, please? Why for noth compatiblities other VPN on smaller than netbook mobile devices, please? Why for defentions/defendtions (defending) anonymity for nigh a score ½ yet noth many compatibilities for smaller/handheld computers, please? Thank yiz in advance. God[s] bless/speed!!

Pop ups appear when I start firefox saying "Trojan virus detected!" and "system alert!" including "remove virus now" button that if pressed takes me to a site which invites me to download what I assume is malware.

I have used build-in VPN in my Firefox on Android but recently I can't see this setting to turn it on. Same on second device. Booth are Pixel phones, localization: Poland. What happened?
