my firefox is locked up by a website saying they are apple support and my computer has been locked

. Whenever you get a message / popup like that;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS OR ANY PHONE NUMBERS ! !

Such messages are only Spam that could lead you to Fake Support. Not only can they damage or hack your system, they charge you to do so.

You can report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery

Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}

You may have ad/mal-ware. Further information can be found in this article; https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware?cache=no

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners. Each works differently. If one program misses something, another may pick it up.

I have uninstalled firefox from my apple computer. I will wait till morning to install. I have spent all day and into the evening trying to reinstall firefox and get it to operate with no success. If i can not reinstall without the slow or no web connection as well as not able to delete history then I will not use firefox as it does not work!

Thanks from a non-IT expert. Most of the info I was trying to find today I did not understand how to correct the problem. Sorry for all of those out there that are more tech savvy
