Starting this morning, I am constantly receiving pop ups supposedly from Mozilla regarding viruses. It says "click here to fix the error" Are these legit?

I have run my anti-virus and malware and they show nothing. I also have pop ups blocked.

Hi 🙂

Many extensions don't work on support.mozilla.org.

For ex, Clippings and Unicodify – Text transformer are very useful to write text. It's annoying not to be able to use them to write in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/questions/new/thunderbird/form.

Seeing https://old.reddit.com/r/firefox/comments/tyytcy/how_to_get_rid_of_this_extension_restriction/i3vke2p/,

1) Why is support.mozilla.org privileged and can pull out information about visitor's system, while connect.mozilla.org cannot?

2) I see that:

• Copy Link Text works,
• Unicodify – Text transformer is able to read selected text but not to write in forms,
• Clippings is not able to read selected text.

Is there a doc which explains what are the limits of what's allowed for extensions in "internal restricted sites"?

How might I become a trusted SSL certificate issuer? You guys have really been shaking things up the past few years, so that certificates have been the biggest pain in the ass of all time. Do I have to reinvent the entire internet just to sell products online? My 4096 bit SSL certificates generated with openssl have 8x more robust encryption than most of the bilge on the internet, and in a lot of cases, 16x more robust encryption, but your browsers shoot everything down -- literally everything.

People have to make money, guys -- you don't really understand. Nobody cares about your "world view." I don't do business with any of you, you're not the government, I need a secure encrypted website to sell online, but you won't stop complaining that my SSL certificates are somehow "untrusted." I think you have mistaken "untrusted" for "uncrackable by current state of the art," because rumor has it that Google's quantum computer has difficulty cracking 2048 bit SSL certificates.

Why do you need to crack everybody's website encryption anyway? Are you trying to intercept financial transactions? How does that make you more trustworthy than me who doesn't hack anyone? I just want to sell my products in an online storefront. I think you guys really need to get off of your moral high horse, because you seem like the enemy to just about everyone I've ever talked to in my life.

Don't be surprised when I release my own browser and start blocking your crappy 256 bit SSL certificates for being inferior and "insecure." I've kind of had it with Firefox, Chromium, Chrome, Edge, etc... It seems like a colossal waste of time for me to have to release my own damned browser just to sell a freaking t-shirt online in America. This is really capitalism at its worst.

Every page i go to, whether it's a login page or simply a page where i have an account but just doing research, like reddit, walmart, forbes.com etc. prompts me to sign in with google. I though firefox was storing all my passwords?

Recently I started using Bit Defender. I have been getting these security messages: Suspicious connection blocked now

Feature: Online Threat Prevention

firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an expired certificate to updates.tb.ask.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since websites must renew their certificates with a certification authority to stay current, and outdated security certificates represent a risk

My about:config contains this:

extensions.quarantinedDomains.list autoatendimento.bb.com.br,ibpf.sicredi.com.br,ibpj.sicredi.com.br,internetbanking.caixa.gov.br,www.ib12.bradesco.com.br,www2.bancobrasil.com.br

I'm in Canada though. Any idea what its about?

How to use FireFox as incognito without sending my identification tracking information? I have read a bunch of information about privacy with Mozilla and am quite confused.

I would like instructions that are simple to understand and implement.

I have heard that when some airlines know that you are looking for tickets ... the ticket prices are increased when you go to their website over time and time again.

Thank you

Attempting to upgrade and recommission an old HP laptop not used in several years. Currently running Firefox Version 41.0.1

Any queries to legitimate websites such as Google or Mozilla, return a "This Connection is Untrusted" display screen. Firefox security settings have been changed to lowest security, and problem persists.

It isn't that Firefox isn't reaching the websites... it's that some security setting recognizing the security certificates (like Mozilla's) is broken... and I can't get past it... even to be able to download a new browser version.

I cannot find current instructions for changing 'dns over https' default resolver. The only instructions I've found reference 'Settings', 'General', 'Network Settings' and 'Configure Proxy Access to the Internet'.

DNS over https isn't located there with FF 132.

How do I change the default resolver to custom resolver?

I just tried to go onto etsy website. I was asked to solve a slide puzzle, which I did correctly but was then blocked.

I've attached a screenshot

This has happened with other websites too

Page seems to freeze, and mail/google-acces denied out of nowhere. Same message when trying to log in to MyHeritage. Message someone changed phonenumber recently. I didn´t. I am accessing internet via cable to Iphone. No wifi or bluetooth. I suspect someone is trying to get illegitimate access.

For a while now i click on a username box and the drop down menu is full of links relating to the site e.g when i use reddit, the username drop down menu is full of links i have copied in the past and usernames from other sites.

I am consistently getting messages like this from my firewall. "firefox.exe attempted to establish a connection relying on an untrusted certificate to mozilla.cloudflare-dns.com. We blocked the connection to keep your data safe since untrusted certificates are issued by unrecognized Certificate Authorities."

I can take a screenshot to illustrate the situation My email address bestfinder@foxmail.com thank you HALE

About once a week or more, a very small FF icon will appear on my desktop after startup. It will have a string of letters under it, like this one: hqWyUevN . I have never clicked on these things and always pitch them into the trash bin. But I do wonder what it is, what it means, and if it's a security issue of some sort.

Please speak slowly and use simple words. I'm not all that tech savvy.

Thanks!

A continuous stream of "antivirus" via tomp3.cc popups started appearing today on my Win 10 desktop. Although there is a "Dismiss" button, once pushed the popups return immediately. I have not changed any settings, added/deleted programs. My Firefox is up to date. I have run Windows security and my Bit Defender program with no detection(s) noted.

Hello everyone,

I’m reaching out because I have some concerns regarding Norton’s HTTPS scanning feature. Recently, I noticed that Norton scans HTTPS traffic, and I’m unsure about how this impacts my privacy and security. While I understand the feature is meant to detect threats, I’m particularly worried because it involves decrypting sensitive information. This raises concerns about whether my personal data, such as login credentials or payment details, could be exposed during the scanning process. Has anyone else experienced issues or found this feature problematic? I'd love to hear about your experiences and whether there are any steps I can take to ensure my online security without risking privacy.

I also have found a names of site that were blocked in the report generated from Norton
