I-Firefox Community Forum

A couple months ago I started getting pop-ups from Firefox notifying me of e-mail messages in my AOL tab.

The pop-ups appear randomly, and do not cover all e-mail messages, only what appears to be random ones.

The pop-up appears in a generally black box. Firefox in the upper left corner, and then some variant of an e-mail message from my in-box.

The message (pop-up) even appears in the log-in window, when I have locked the computer and have yet to re-sign-in.

I believe I have my Firefox pop-up parameters correctly set.

So AOL or something in Windows-10??

Just a little annoyance................

I have no interest in it and view it as a security risk and liability. I've been using Firefox for over a decade, every since I realized how horrible Google is. Why the heck would Mozilla do this?

Today (February 25, 2026) I received an email notice, apparently from Mozilla Monitor, advising me that my "Email addresses, Partial credit card data, Passwords, and Phone numbers" had been exposed in a data breach at Canadian Tire. This email seemed legitimate (the sender was breach-alerts@mozilla.com), but since it gave me a link to login to Mozilla Monitor, my first concern was that this might be a phishing email and it would be dangerous to click on that link. Instead, I went through the Firefox settings to login to my Firefox account and from there, I checked what Monitor had reported. The Canadian Tire breach was not listed there. However, when I went to haveibeenpwned.com, the Canadian Tire breach was listed there. It showed that the breach occurred on October 25, 2025. So why was the breach not listed for me on Mozilla Monitor? And why would I have received an alert from Monitor 4 months after the breach? Was this breach alert notice actually a phishing scam perpetrated by someone using the information from haveibeenpwned.com as bait?

Hi there,

I am using Firefox Desktop in Windows 10. I activated master key password for the browser. Suddenly, I noticed that the pop up appear in the browser after open. If I close the pop-up or cancel it then it doesn't force me to type password. I easily can use the browser without using password. This is horrible!

please fix it

Hi I'm wondering what people think about emails providing links for donations. If the email address is spoofed and the link is malicious were in trouble. So, assuming the email I received today was from Mozilla (and not a spoofed email address, shouldn't Mozilla ask us to visit it's webpage to make a donation rather than email us a link? Regards

I signed into one of my financial accounts and it said the sign in was with firefox windows 10. I have windows 11 on my computer. Is this a security issue? Fire fox says i am on the latest version

I could not access this website https://sevasindhuservices.karnataka.gov.in/home.do why please help me

This is my second request for help. I want to thank those who tried to help me before, but nothing has changed. When I open Firefox I immediately receive three messages, approximately 4 inches wide and 3 inches long on the right side of my browser, covering the areas I need to get to. They claim to be from Mozilla Firefox, have the Firefox logo on the top left, warning that I have a virus, or my files are infected, or a large Alert! And that I need to click "here" to fix the problem. It shows a strange "address" a string of random letters and the odd number and the words "merge network protocol." I did not click on this, or the "dismiss" that is shown. I did, however, click the X in the top right corner of one of these. It disappeared for about three seconds and was immediately replaced by another warning of some type. These messages do not go away when I leave Firefox, they follow me wherever I go. Restarting the computer gets rid of them, but I can't access Firefox without them returning. I have tried to alert Mozilla about this, but have not heard back. Any suggestions?

My browser later stop working telling me that they encounter an error it stop browsing but after restarting of the PC it started working. Please set and update my mozilla against such. It was talking about secure security. Please set it up for me.

As title, MS defender keeps detecting trojans everytime firefox is launched and while I'm pretty sure it's probably just a false positive its just getting rather frustrating and now more so, worrying that it's constantly happening.

Good morning,

Today I have formatted my computer. So, next step is install all the software I use. I use your app and when I reinstalled, I received your advice to update mozilla. I have download the file and I usually check with virus total the link and the file. Your link is ok but the file have a malware.

I'm sorry but how I can trust in your downloads and advices?

Thanks

When using Eff fingerprint test https://coveryourtracks.eff.org/ it shows a nearly unique fingerprint for FF for version 133. How can this be corrected to show randomized fingerprint ?
