I have a Samsung Galaxy S20FE5G and use the Firefox browser with Google search. While browsing on Firefox, I clicked on a website in my search and a flashing pop up appeared saying the phone has been infected with a virus and to "click here." Obviously I did not click on the pop up since I suspected this was a scam for infection in itself. So I immediately closed all windows/tabs and then turned off my phone. I restarted my phone in safe mode and made sure all the apps were those factory installed or those I installed. I turned it on again to run a scan as suggested by Samsung but found out that the installed Samsung "Device Care" did NOT have a scan function for viruses. I checked Firefox to see if there was a message or warning and saw none. Then I turned my phone off again.

3 BIG Questions: 1. What should I do? 2. Should I be concerned? 3. Should I change all my passwords? If so, then the problem is I need to use my phone for 2 factor ID and I would need to turn it on again in normal mode.

(FYI I used the guide in this article: https://www.samsung.com/uk/support/mobile-devices/how-do-i-use-the-smart-manager-application-to-check-for-malware-or-viruses/ to determine the steps I took so far. )

Windows 10 pc can not start,I have gone through automatic repair and diagnostics steps,but am now on advamced options and think I need to Reset it.This will lose Firefox.When I install it again will I be able to sign into my Firefox account to retrieve bookmarks and passwords?I am very nervous about this,don't even know how to install Firefox,as someone gave me the computer and it was already in there. I am a tech dinosaur!Thank you in advance for any help.Lesley

As of today in Firefox Nightly for Android the buttons noted in the subject line above have now taken up a section of my screen instead of being tucked away in a menu, which is my preference. I cannot figure out how to put it back as I have no need for these to be persistent in any way. Please instruct me on how to reassert the previous settings.

Which translation platform do you use for your built-in service?

If I wanted to use DEEPL, how do I make it the default service?

I already have it as an extension

HOw do I stay signed in to Firefox so I do not have to sign in everytime I open it? Also, I created a new password which is being rejected. Since I can see the password, I know its the right one.

None of the online instructions work. None. Why must it be impossible or so inhumanly difficult to simply disable the annoying and privacy-violating “Firefox suggestions” in the Firefox address bar on the iOS? When will you finally realize and accept that people should be able to use Firefox in social situations without having everyone around see one’s search history? Is this really difficult to understand? It seems that the knuckleheads at Mozilla product development lack even the most basic understanding of the concept of privacy. And yet Mozilla advertises its product with empty promises of privacy.

Sync collections after Android factory reset, have Firefox on desktop that is synced, but the new Android install synced bookmarks but not collections, of which i have many, or did.

I'm sure I've just missed a step, but been reading for 3 weeks now .... any idea's?
