Seriously Mozilla.

First with ramming AI everywhere in Firefox, now a browser VPN, why?

I do not want a VPN the web browser that I didn't ask for or other features you think people need without asking.

Corporate and business users would not have a bar of this either.

Enough!

Remove this from Firefox please in the next release.

In the meantime, tell users how to disable this VPN via the Settings and "about:config" so this never gets turned on.

Windows Defender is blocking Yandex.Ru, which is not even been tried to be access from. It showed in the Event Viewer that firefox.exe tried to reach Yandex.ru. Why is Firefox trying to reach there? There are no extensions apart from Firefox Multi-Account Containers installed.

Please advice.

Since several days every time I visit a webpage I see that there is a popunder from syscsrv.com!

What can I do to stop this?

Regards

Ingrid

1st, I'm 72 and I'm fairly competent but I ain't no 'puter whiz.

I have a 6 month old HP Laptop with McAfee and Norton installed. Firefox is my default browser. Yesterday I started getting popups with "Mozilla Firefox" and the Firefox logo and they say things like "McAfee: 3 viruses found! Hard drive is infected! Remove viruses!" and then there's a "via [suspicious looking websites that start with with d3qq and have a .co.in at the end. I have not clicked on them. Just got one now with "ATTENTION! Click here to remove it!" What "it" is, I don't know but again a site with d311 and .co.in at the end. I have run McAfee and Norton scans out the ying yang and they keep saying there's nothing wrong with my laptop.

I have this sick feeling that I have to uninstall and re-install Firefox which scares my 72 yr old brain. Help!

Since the new CEO of Firefox seems to be very determined to add more AI features to the browser that I've been using (among other things) specifically to escape AI slop, I will be considering switching to another browser. It will be disheartening to abandon the browser I've been using for years, but I value my personal data (and cpu) too much to let an AI handle it. I appreciated his words that it would be "Completely opt-in, you have full control, and if you try it and find it’s not for you, you can choose to switch it off", but I strongly believe that all AI browsers are inherently insecure. The first AI feature that I can't make completely disappear forever with one click will be my sign to switch browsers. Hopefully, Firefox re-thinks its approach and decides not to destroy the exact thing that makes it so valuable - the commitment to protect the users' privacy.

I am currently getting unwanted popups purporting to be from firefox about virus protection. I know they are fake because they report my McAfee license has expired, and it hasn't. I have McAfee scanning for viruses right now. They are generated over again when I close them; so I can't get rid of them.

Have tried different solutions like Malware product and cleaning cashe and cookies. When I search a known safe site I get redirect by Convertitmas stating the (known safe) site is unsafe. Best regards Henrik Nygaard

Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Michael Staudt and I would like to get support form you in the following matter. For about one week now I get some strange, reappearing sites mentioned in my chronic – even though I have never opened these addresses in tabs myself. Please see the addresses (CAUTION PLEASE) and the screen shot attached.

„https://syscsrv.com/vhtrs/?wm=%7Eu%3E%5Bp&pub=wu%3E%5Bp&ci=%3BL%5Bu3Nv%3De4nC%7C%5CE%2Cuh%60UQTXau%259Nl%2FV%7DK%25Z2s&ppos=ww9Gi&l=K%5B&ve=8NWp&an=Zo%7C&id=41957816409559210160666061561591261080&its=9F%5Bu%2AMo5c%3BbA%7EQD%3BumPWbV%60&cup=o%2C%3FRpArIX6%7D5%7Dr%2Aq%5Ed452%2B57kSt-%600ia%22O7aEC86B%3E2%291%3APi%2B%60z%40RvH%7C%60jl%22%22r_%29%2C%2F9VXYs3QvbuAwO..fR%3E1C%22rbev%247%219X%3EKk%21Fz%3ApR&phash=2ba37b6dce3f679ad18d0b8774c510f9132da35022d5abe0bf35e1b6d3d95db7“

and an omious new tab with the address: „http://127.0.0.1:42842/lp?u=C69B3812E4EA90ABCEF7EBADEC164597268CFE07EC561F6ADEFC68B1898BECD17D8AF0E8B108F93DC50E00DFC391330837893F68D25780347CF897A11ED5BF6AFA6DF3DA1A32D7ED46D72B3C8F294B8F106E67A351BFC547B3BBA4559BD9A6E4DAE2F2156E076161CE2F408D0D072A40855ACC060609B5D2791B54D6F9114039E6BEFAED2A476F02E7BF706EEE818101A6E89520B4D4B45DEE0AB3B4243175FF237014487D338A796A745F7672D2AA89F2F1AAD4B0E7D1AAC6B2E7BC3A4C2530996274621B572EAEDD9980BECCE096B8EB1879DFCD09FE34D92B14440E9857964DC0A07C543D8F74BEBE03C800D7FABDDDB9207F29F73F8A654054B5A4E2E0907AEBFD900FB23BAE37A265ECD3144603F73947B01E7430284D63BA79718CEE933EB6973ECCA163CFAD03204A70211A437C4B770B30C756B4657865D4E8C9C582407BD0CAA2D4DBDBCAD9D3442E803A43674F45712799C7EDBFF4861C32AFE9B946D7CF1C391117212EDE050257CB8B2C7A7F67DE5C7F1F76359B57C2DCFEBA80114B3D9E0C06293CBA4CA89D4A1889B4A6B6C58A8EC5B7CFFA61FB1BCF102B854963F5C9CD66A4746BFF8F69D3A39DC60504A9AA15C9F2E8BA492368453680110D466AF37C7B76851A999A44F49DC5000AE2F71FC5B3DFF7E70B374D761648428664379C93C1C3E42F4FD8A3B4F4BC94F90C3F4F2C4AB630FF2929BB55A9A6A49120597E64EDEFCD7A6CE00E05A6D1E3C13E9A69AE4E2E69427768680C167CDDA5E0C1B13EAF095EEA29295F270BE3F01022708E406845949249DA9551D0B3D81F55C09FBA0FFEEC25E861673CA3439330691872E6556D0C01D5AD0FB6AFD6DF0AF6DC17278000F3119F3A385D8C49B864AE4F6907364DCAF5EAC0B32EEEAF0E0E0B02F41751060A1647BEA96A48“

I tried to search the internet for „syscsrv“ as a potential thread and I have found some entries in forums of people who seem to have the same issue. However, in the forums there were no solutions for the issue mentioned. Are these two addresses potentially dangerous/ malicious or are these potentially firefox bugs?

Thank you for your help.

Yours sincerely, Michael Staudt

Was prompted to download a program to Firefox before I paid my phone bill. I did not recognize the web address or name that was shown, and the account number from which recent payment was deducted did match any accounts I hold or held in the past. I cancelled the action immediately, without downloading, but am still concerned. I found nothing on the internet about this, just got a summation chat AI response that stated the phone company had no download/extension for Firefox. Has anyone had any experience like this or could someone shed some light on this?

Lately, I have been noticing that new Firefox browser windows (not a new tab, a new window) have been opening seemingly randomly on me. The sites in these new browser windows are always commercial in nature and seemingly random in subject matter. I am not aware of having clicked on anything that would cause the new browser windows to open. I need to know how to block this from happening; I am unable to figure it out in the various Firefox Settings.

At the top of my settings it says: Information: Your browser is being managed by your organization.

What does this mean? It's my personal laptop, I bought it myself and I don't work for any organization.

Thanks for your help. Nancy

II must have been onto a dangerous site ??? but anyway I was using another browser and Firefox popped up with messages indicating a virus. As I am a retired head of IT, I closed internet and uninstalled Firefox. I then scanned my Pc with 3 different antivirus packages, My default installed is Sophos. Then there is teh standard MS , plus I installed ESET. All cleared my machine with no issues. I then re- installed Firefox, , it picked up my data and the virus message popped up again. I immediately uninstalled it again. I use REVO to uninstall, which scans for left overs, which I delete as well. Now I HAVE TO ASSUME that Revo is NOT clearing ALL FIREFOX files/data off my PC. Please advise where it is and how I can delete it completely, which is causing the messages to pop up again as soon as i install Firefox.

To sign into Chatgbt I used my google account. Mozilla asks me "do I want to store info in persistent storage?" I click "learn more" about persistent storage. It takes me to a page that has zero mention of the words "persistent storage". That is a huge UX error. It says to me that really, you don't want me to know about persistent storage, and prefer that I remain confused and feel forced to agree to things I may not really want to, because you're making it difficult to understand what's actually involved. Not cool. Definitely now considering changing my browser after over 20 years.
