How can I report a phishing attempt to download Firefox?
In the link box, I typed the address of my Bank. Up jumps from a window with a tab that says "Please update Firefox" ab3maddress. info/affy/lp/ff5.php?keyword=ron_98795. The window has the logo of Firefox, next to which he said "Obsolete browser detected" (I kept a screenshot if you want). He also said "you are currently using Firefox 222, which is now outdated. Please upgrade to the latest Version of Firefox (recommended).
I downloaded the file and realized that there was something not good about it. I quickly threw. I went back to look at the window who suggested a download and at the bottom it says
«WARNING: we are not affiliated with Firefox.» Firefox not have is the author, participated, or in any way examined this advertising or authorized. All trademarks, logos, service marks or names (including the names of products and retailers) are the property of their respective owners. »
kristinanewhouse,
Please report to us that. It's the kind of thing deliberately designed to catch people off guard, and who knows what the site will do actually.
In fact, I wasn't looking to see what the site offers to download. It could be delivered with something or even downright malware in Firefox.
I made the link in the po no clickable and reach a quick screenshot of the site.
Phillip,
Thanks for the link to report. It's something I knew but never tried. The report form however would not work for me. I did not attempt to fill a bug for this report, but I have fire at least an email reporting the problem and violation. No doubt someone will follow both if necessary.

It may not be you who caused him. Account of a friend could have been consulted
or even someone could have sent an email on your behalf to someone else who has been

(1) how can I change my password for connection of Firefox? (Not my main password for things Firefox stores)
(2) how can I change my password for connection of Thunderbird? (Not my master
password for things Thunderbird stores)
Just answer (Email removed by mod)You don't have to log in to Firefox. Firefox is just a browser, such as Internet Explorer. Everything you have to do is double-click it and open it. It's like Internet Explorer. If you have some sort of password extension protecting your Firefox, it's different and you need to contact the developer of the extension.

Firefox cannot renew its tabs and now won't run and let me do a backupThis may be considered to be solve my problem.
I decided to uninstall the rogue program Firefox download and reinstall the same version (No. 8). I used Windows XP Add Remove programs who asked if I wanted to save the settings of Firefox until I uninstalled Firefox. I said yes and operated with the uninstall. I couldn't find a Firefox 8 so I went for the 12 version and installed on the laptop. This version 12 now works with all the passwords one favorite of the uninstalled 8.
Thank you for all your help and advice. -
