I can't tell if I've got a browser hijacker. I'm on an android phone on Firefox and using duckduckgo. I have avast antivirus, but the free version. And in the last 24 hours, sometimes when I type inquiries, usually if its a string of letters and numbers, it will redirect me to a website unrelated to my search. For instance, typing in mig23(looking up fighter jet), it won't do searches and instead will take me to some UK boat website. "OICE", a typo, takes me to a NASA OIIR website. It appears to be close to whatever I typed in, but also doesn't happen every single time. This doesn't happen on my other devices, but it also doesn't happen when I use google in Firefox. However, it is possible that this happened on my laptop but I do not have access to it right now.

I am always in fear of viruses and I desperately want this to be a computer glitch. I cleared the DNS cache, I deleted some files and apps and rebooted and its still happening! I don't know what file could've done it.

I went to youtube account of Jack Storm Jack Storms | The Glass Sculptor - YouTube; I tapped on his "website" and the next thing I know are the at least 3 side messages regarding a virus. I have attached one photo of said message.

this is another: https://berht-shv.com/zclkvisitor/9a3fb513-fa41-11f0-acfd-12edde5c536d/85aefdc2-9ed0-48aa-922d-60f9f9fc0f2d?campaignid=9a50f321-fa41-11f0-acfd-12edde5c536d

Please direct me as to next moves. I did put on strict.

In the Settings, the "HTTPS-Only" feature seems broken. There is an option to 'Don't enable" this feature, but that doesn't make any difference. I can get to an "http:" site using any other browser, but not with the latest Firefox.

If Firefox becomes an "AI browser" as it's new CEO says I will switch to another browser. The privacy and environmental problems alone are enough for me to warrant this change, to say nothing of how it's slowing the browser itself down and making it worse. I'm sick and tired of AI shoving itself into every single aspect of life, taking things that already worked fine on their own and making them worse for no reason, in addition to ruining the planet and encroaching more and more on the privacy of everyday folks like myself. Anthony Enzor-DeMeo's insistence that we should "trust" this hypothetical version of the browser is frankly sickening, and everyone involved in this scam should be ashamed.

Someone claiming to be with Microsoft froze my computer until I answered whether I wanted them to know where I am at. I need protection from hackers like this. I want to be able to do a full scan on my computer.

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?

Hello

I would like to report an issue on Firefox If i work on my Private domain on my laptop my cursor is moving alone some time to time I have also sometimes intrusion after my CPU FAN run very high

I'm on Linux Mint last version but I have also the issue on Linux Mageia 10. (last version one month ago)

I have posted some question to mageia Team Post : viewtopic.php?p=92060#p92060 viewtopic.php?p=93642#p93642

My Suspicion so far from now : The problem is probably an HTTP Flood that permits access to User Security.

So I have two problems: • The problem of the cursor moving. • I also have my CPU fan increasing speed from time to time without reason after I change my User Password. ( Less noticed on Mint so far from now but it's doesn't mean it's better )

After reinstalling my laptop and not moving files, the issue generally occurs again. It's less occuring if I change my IP Address, meaning if my Internet Provider change IP everyday it's less occuring

I went to discuss it with an External IT Consultant (we tried to scan the laptop for viruses and found nothing with multiple antivirus programs, DocWeb, Kaspersky, … ISO Boot Scan). So the issue is probably only an intrusion without any virus, as a Security Leak Exploit on Firefox

(maybe an HTTP Flood Attack from my IP found when I connect to my Domain). Both issues generally occurred first if Firefox was open. It stops if I close Firefox.

It occurred after my work on my private domain. I strongly think, after experimenting with reinstalling, rebooting, etc.,

it’s a security bug or issue on Firefox that makes someone able to control “a little” the cursor when the cursor is moving on the page, which makes life very difficult when you work on your stuff. The cursor is able to go up and down, up and down, something like that. Sometimes it goes across or moves to the bottom of the screen suddenly. Only from the CursorPad. If I use the button mouse controller from my laptop keyboard, the cursor does not move in the same way, I believe. I didn’t try so much with an external mouse. I don’t want to hide the issue.

Trying to currently install a Gateway on my Personal Internet Broadband (but currently an issue because my new Gateway turned off and was not able to start anymore, so I sent it back to the Seller). So still waiting for this.

Issue on Mageia or Mint, so the problem does not come from the distribution, but ( I suspect ) it took time for the guy to come back to the same level. Of intrusion, They need to adapt to the new version of the Distrib. I suspect I'm not 100% sure I’m reporting it to Mozilla Firefox, Mint, and Mageia here.

Thanks for your help. ( I have lot of problem of Availability currently... I'm sorry if I'm not replying so much )

Hello Firefox Developers,

No pressure for this item.

I would like to request that there be an option to censor or hide the Firefox user information in the Firefox UI and in the Settings section for privacy and security reasons, especially when doing online streams or making online guides.

At least an option to either make it "l.............@..." with an eye option beside it. Like what the password field behaviour is in online forms.

It would be nice if the option were available to the end-users.

Thank you so much.

I'm sending this from my phone. My desktop FF (Win 10) suddenly displayed a black wireless globe type icon called Prox-Media pinned to my taskbar. I can't find the app on my system, though, but the full path leads it to a firefox.exe file. Before my brain kicked in, I'd clicked on the icon right after noticing it, and Firefox came up with the attached error message displayed.

"Prox-Media" comes up nowhere in my searches - not as legit, not as a virus - just no results. Can you help?

I have a paid AVG account and I ran a deep scan but it found nothing.

It's a pity Firefox Focus is available only on iOS. Why can't it be a Mac desktop app, also? Or (even better!) maybe Firefox desktop browser could have a setting allowing "Private Window" to be the default view for new tabs or windows, and on startup.
