• If you use Firefox to connect to facebook, I get a message on the download of anti-malware programs. How can I stop this?

  A few days ago, I tried to connect to Facebook to play games, chat and so on. After filling in the username and password, I get a message telling me it looks like I have malware on my computer and I need to download certain types of anti-malware program to clean my computer. This only happens when using Firefox. How can I get rid of this? I tried to remove and reinstall Firefox. I ran two major anti-malware programs that work on my laptop. If it is a legitimate program from Fb, I would like the option to refuse. I did not have the choice. I can connect to Fb on Google Chrome without problems, and so I have to conclude that this is a problem with Firefox. Any ideas? I tried to contact Fb, but so far there has been no response.

  • Don't update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.
  • Plugins should be updated only through the plugin itself, or by visiting the home page of the plugin.

  Please scan with all programs, because each program detects a different malicious program.
  All of these programs have free versions.

  Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before scanning.

  'Missing profile '.

• How can I import my old passwords of key3.db key3 and files for the new firefox signons.sqlite 41.0?

  I recently updated my PC and my old hard drive in system is placed as a slave in my new PC. Seen key3 and signons.sqlite key3.db files of the old firefox, how to import passwords saved in the new firefox 41.0?

  Thank you.

  How old was the older Firefox? Firefox 33 and then use this pair of files:

  • logins. JSON -. saved passwords.
  • signons3.txt - this file stores your database key for your passwords.

  If you want to move the old in your current profile (to replace new empty files for the most part), this is the fastest way to open your folder of the currently active profile. Either:

  • button "3-bar" menu > "?" button > troubleshooting information
  • (menu bar) Help > troubleshooting information
  • type or paste everything: in the address bar and press Enter

  In the first table of the page, click on the view file"" button. This should launch a new window that lists the various files and folders in Windows Explorer.

  Leave this window open, switch back to Firefox and output, either:

  • "3-bar" menu button > button "power".
  • (menu bar) File > Exit

  Pause while Firefox finishing its cleanup, then rename logins.json to something like logins.old and key3db to something like key3.old.

  Now copy the old two files in this folder.

  Launch Firefox back up again. These connections are available?
