Hello: FF dev 150b5,w11p. With this v 150 there's a new irritant that I would like to stop, please. That's the sudden (starting w/v150 again) appearance on lower L corner, of a popup window, which may be interactive. That is, this thing is so new I can't say more about it except that I didn't change anything to make this thing appear, & this didn't happen in prev.versions.

I looked in settings & the only thing on keyword "popup" goes to, in "search results", is: "block popups & 3rd party redirects." I already had that choice checked from previous versions (that is, do block). But this new popup appeared (unasked) anyway.

Is there an extension that will stop these? If so, what keyword(s) do I put into the "search extensions" box to find the extension(s)?

Also, w/this new "wonder" of unasked-for popups -- is this another "coming w/AI" feature I will have to live with?

I did a search here on "popups" before posting,but came up w/nothing relevant.

Thank you.

Are these as small popups on bottom right corner of Firefox windows?. If so then these may just be web push notifications from sites you have allowed to send you notifications. You can revoke these sites from sending you notifications as the second KB link above shows.

Thanks, James, but the popup appeared on lower left corner. I went to security-permissions as you recommended but I have only 2 websites allowed, didn't remove them. If the popups recur & will post here.

Paul moderator: as per James, I will try to get screenshot if/when popup recurs, thanks for reply.
