This URL keeps popping up in a new tab I never asked for: https://eshahxysww.net/935408540962/53e34eb0ad025bfd1e90e0a1d8014a40/96ddb43e25f9825957cc9196b3bc7e0d
At random, the following URL keeps opening its own new tab in my Firefox browser... https://eshahxysww.net/935408540962/53e34eb0ad025bfd1e90e0a1d8014a40/96ddb43e25f9825957cc9196b3bc7e0d.html The message on the page always says, "Critical Firefox Update – Download Now” … Is this from Mozilla? If so, why don’t I see the word “mozilla” anywhere in the URL? If it's not from you folk at Mozilla -- How do i stop this from happening?
