Unfortunately, the internet is a very dangerous place because of scammers, malware, ransomware . . . .

You need a good antivirus to block much of this.

Run mal scanners now and then to make sure nothing sneaks in.

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.

If you receive any messages offering to 'fix' your system, close that window.

and the list goes on.

Running Malware and McAfee... quarantined 8 ... my issue is when I go to verify account... you send the email... however I cannot click it because not my ip address and not my city... not me... and read all the help articles I can.. do not understand how to get this back to me and my ip address... New sign-in to Firefox here is what I get:

For added security, please confirm this sign-in from the following device:

Firefox on Windows 10 Dallas, TX, United States (estimated) IP address: 50.84.136.154 9:00:34 AM (CDT) Wednesday, Apr 18, 2018

this is NOT ME....and I humbly apologize for not understanding what to do,,, I don't know..and still need some advice if possible...

Hi mr aak,

Your system details (to the right of your original post) show that there are two extensions installed :

Directions Finder and Search Encrypt

Those are browser hijackers, malware that you need to get rid of.

Go to the 3-bar menu (or 'Tools') => Add-ons => Extensions (you'll see them listed there) and remove those two extensions, please.

Just to make sure, also go to Windows Control Panel => Programs, and see if there is anything there that looks suspicious - if you find any : please, remove them.

You've already run all the malware scans, and you should be OK after you've removed those two extensions.

Thank you Happy 112...I have done as requested I have HitMan Pro, Malware bytes and McAfee.. have run these repeatedly.. and account still needs verification per email... I receive the wrong ip address and city the 2 add-ons were removed.... concerned that without verification when I shut this computer down.. I will not be able t o get back on..and every file/account/etc is on Firefox... please advise what else I should do/can do... is there anyone in all of mozilla/firefox that can get on my computer and look at this... I a have read and re-read all the info on this stuff... out of my comprehension range... I do apologize. ... and perplexed that I am unable to get this done myself.. and I think the more I attempt to work on it.. the deeper in___ I am getting...no.. I do not think... I know...

Dear mr aak, try to relax - you removed those two extensions , no worries there anymore.

But it looks like you've got another (separate) problem : you seem to be waiting for an email verification - this is about a Sync account, I assume  ? FredMcD has already contacted an administrator a couple of days ago - just to try and speed things up a little, I will send that administrator an email.

I just sent another message.

And I just sent an email .......

Hi,

Apologies for the delay, there is quite alot of excitement at Mozilla. I am happy to help investigate the verification of the sync account.

It is really important to try not to sync a profile with extensions that may cause similar issues that were just troubleshooted above.

I would advise backing up the parts of your profile that you wish to sync, as access to the sync account is not going to be a reliable back up option.

Back up and restore information in Firefox profiles <---first

Second, please consider creating a new profile Profile Manager - Create, remove or switch Firefox profiles, then navigate to about:support and open the new profile folder and copy over the profile files to the new profile folder from the old one.

Second, try to login to the sync account from the new profile. If you still receive the error, please consider creating a new account, then adding back each of the devices that were synced.

Although this is not ideal, most of the profile information is stored locally and the sync service will just mirror what is being synced.
