No, uBlock will not, but Firefox can block Push Notifications, which is the way I have it Configured.Turtletronic wrote: ⤴Fri May 07, 2021 6:52 am All this "install ublock" yada yada ... ever thought about the possibility that it is not "a popup" but an (abused) website push notification? ublock does not help against those ...

Re: "5 viruses"
If I'm not severely mistaken Firefox at least asks by default if you want to allow any anyway, which poster would've presumably noticed. But that's the thing then that I said about everyone and his or her dog turtle. Because secuwity cool ergo posting about secuwity cool ergo poster cool. <flips up Matrix-styled sunglasses and looks broodily into the camera>.
Re: "5 viruses"
This will exclude profile problems (without deleting existing one)
In terminal:
Create Profile...
Next
Enter new profile name
Finish
Start Firefox (new profile selected)
Then always start with
In terminal:
firefox -p
Create Profile...
Next
Enter new profile name
Finish
Start Firefox (new profile selected)
Then always start with
firefox -p
until the issue will be resolved-=t42=-

Yes. On Firefox window itself.newlyminted7 wrote: ⤴Thu May 06, 2021 12:43 pm Is the popup appearing as part of the Firefox window itself and not on a web page?

When I try to screenshot, the popup disappears. It is just a small oval in top right corner that partially covers some of the buttons. But here is the url of page it leads to: https://www.mcafee.com/consumer/en-us/l ... &ccoel2=amThaCrip wrote: ⤴Thu May 06, 2021 5:22 pmAgreed. he should do that as it's simple enough on Mint... shift+print screen and then one can manually select what one wants to show in the screenshot that way using mouse pointer with holding left click and moving mouse over the screen in the area you want to be apart of the screenshot and then release left click and it will ask you to save the image and that's that.

Check all browser addon's/extensions. Remove any strange Plugins as well.
Re: "5 viruses"
That site seems to be Mcaffe's official website. so it's not linking to some shady site, which is a good thing. so it's probably just some notification type of thing that was allowed.sdcougar wrote: ⤴Fri May 07, 2021 10:33 pm When I try to screenshot, the popup disappears.

but if it's related to the notifications you can get rid of it by following these simple instructions on Mozilla's website... https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/pu ... cific-site
