How can I suppress a recurring pop-up in Firefox that claims my computer is infected with a virus and it instructs me to download McAfee Antivirus to clear it out. I've done multiple scans with my Norton Antivirus which showed I had no viruses. The fake pop-ups appear to be coming from Firefox.

have you gone mad??? why would you want to add ai bullshit to firefox? the only reason people use firefox is because you aren't doing all that bullshit, and stealing all our data

Is there any documented way our I.T department can disable the ability to connect to or even see the Firefox VPN that is being rolled out via group policy or another settings method? Firefox is a great asset for our agency but we cannot have users having the ability to bypass our web filtering. If there's not an option currently, could we have the IP's or the servers that it runs off of so we can manually block it in our firewall?

Yesterday I received non-stop pop ups from <opb-protect.pro> on Firefox, and only Firefox. On going to <Permissions> I checked that I had turned on block pop-ups. It was turned on. But under notifications this sinister pop up had inserted itself as <Allowed>. It has inserted this; <https://d3ka84anaffc73c14rf0.opb-protect.pro>

I had now set that to <Block>. I mention this because this mob have managed to work around the Mozilla pop-up blocker.

I recently started to get a"The security sandbox is disable" warning. I have already gone into about:config

my settings:

Content Process Sandbox Level 8 Effective Content Process Sandbox Level 0 (note in about:config this setting is 6?) Win32k Lockdown State for Content Process Win32k Lockdown enabled -- default value is true GPU Process Sandbox Level 1

Firefox ver 145.0.2 (64bit)

I know I can't speak for all Firefox users, but one of the main draws to using this browser for myself and many others has been that it took a firm stance AGAINST data theft, user tracking, bloat, and other insidiously invasive practices present in other browsers that make them glorified spyware. Integrating genAI features throws all of that out the door, and deeply threatens the product's identity in its consumer base. These are features we do not want or need and will likely drive many proud Firefox users to seek alternatives. Please reconsider

I was googling something related to my game and i clicked on a Reddit search result, which i made sure is the official Reddit website not some shady one, then an empty .htm file from moz-safe-about resource got downloaded randomly. I didn't open it, i uploaded it to VirusTotal which came out safe and then i instantly deleted it and ran a virus scan with Windows Security which also came out clean. i tried to recreate this by opening the same website again both on Firefox and other browsers like Zen(Firefox based) and Chrome but nothing happened.

is this a harmless bug or should i worry that it could be a virus that didnt get detected?

I'm getting notifications that my hard drive is infected with a Trojan. It appears to be McAfee pretending to be from Mozilla Firefox. I can't get rid of the damned things!

I've purposefully used the environment variable to disable the security sandbox.

How can I acknowledge and hide the persistent warning? Is there any about:config value for it?

Thank you!

Hello, Can Firefox not use Google's safe browsing because there are some big conflict of interests. If website owners do not put google's codes in their website, Google will block their website or flag it as deceptive. This may become a large legal issue later. Only once the website user verifies with Google, will this be cleared. I run over 400 websites (all of the same codes) and the websites that I verify with Google were all blocked with a notice that the sites were deceptive. There are no difference in codes with the site that were verified and none were blocked. So I had to upload Google's codes to each website to clear the blockage. There were no phishing, no spamming, and nothing deceptive about any of the websites. The only difference was they were not verified with Google. Thus this forces website owners to put Google's codes on their website which is giving Google way too much control over the internet. I thought firefox was not controlled by any other company such as Google. If I use other browsers such as Microsoft's Edge, none of my website had any issues. Please do not use Google services as that gives too much control to Google. In addition, Google's Captcha is really another obstacle.

this is probably something basic but i'm stumped and frustrated. just now i'm trying to track a package on the post office site usps.com - each step i take firefox prevents me from moving forward - example: to track a package i insert the tracking number into the proper field and click enter. next up is a banner from firefox saying"firefox prevented this page from automatically redirecting to another page". i do the steps necessary to work around and track the package but it's annoying. this is just one example - its not limited to tracking packages or inserting long numbers into boxes - it happens - not often - but on occasion at certain other sites as well. while it may be the post office is inherently evil (i am not of that belief)i long ago accepted whatever they know about me is worth what they do for me on a regular basis - overall i consider my relationship with them as a win win. how do i convince firefox of the same? MSI notebook/laptop win 11, latest firefox updates although not a new issue - just particularly annoying today

i'd love to consign this to the category of "things that i don't think about any more" and move on to what's going to drive me crazy next - thanks for your help in my journey!
