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:

The site ahead may contain harmful programs

Firefox blocked this page because it might try to trick you into installing programs that harm your browsing experience (for example, by changing your homepage or showing extra ads on sites you visit).

Advisory provided by Google Safe Browsing.

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 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.

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.

Aloha, I get anxious, sometimes very anxious when I wonder how safe my financial and personal information is online using my phone. We do not have a laptop, tablet, or desk PC, I have an unlimited data plan thru total wireless and it's all i use for internet oh, other than T-Mobile home internet for streaming. Don't use home internet to do anything by scroll and view. I begin to question myself, and that leads me being introduced to security systems and companies that provide VPN and other thing with initials. Reading through the material on the topics of security and privacy, it seems that I have these extra features already included through FIREFOX. But yet, nothing is as simplistic as that. Or is it? Do I have all the special security features just by using FIREFOX as my browser? I hope this isn't the most annoying topic you need to explain, comfort, assure to other people ever. Thanks, if you and just tell me what I need and how to do it for my cell that'd be super groovy awesome. Sincerely and Respectfully, Laura

Hi, whenever I do a search, https://khsrchrdr.com appears with the search terms as suffix, but no search results. Grok says this "is a fake/monetized search page (often called a “search redirector”) commonly pushed by browser hijackers or potentially unwanted programs (PUAs). It is not a legitimate primary search engine like Google, Bing, or DuckDuckGo." How do I get rid of it in Firefox. I can't see it as an extension in FireFox

I am receiving popups - sometimes five to seven, stacked, and purporting to be from Firefox or Mozilla but having a clearly "poisonous" URL, The popups warn that my computer is infected with a dangerous virus and want to to click on them to remove it.

I do have an anti-viral program installed - "McAfee".

I went on the Mozilla page regarding reporting bugs but it is a bit above my pay grade to understand.
