Hi

I recommend opening Firefox for Android, swiping across to the History pane and clearing your browsing history.

I hope this helps.

Hi

Have you installed any other apps recently to your Android device?

I don't think so. It's forever saying update.

If you do not have Firefox for Android on your device and it is appearing in other web browsera, it suggests that you have either visited a web page that is triggering it, or there is another app on your device that is trying to send a message out.
