Failed Mozilla Firefox Browser Update

Passions do not subside around the popular Mozilla Firefox browser, which is among the five best applications by the rating of the popular software for surfing the Internet.

Failed Mozilla Firefox Browser Update

The problems began with a software update that happened 10 days ago. An improved version of the browser has notified users about improved stability and minor improvements to the interface. However, on the same day, programmers working in the field of website development found a problem in caching pages and created relevant topics in sections of specialized forums. By the way, the problem with saving data in the forms of the Composer plugin for WordPress is still not resolved.

The second issue affected user privacy. The browser, unbeknownst to the owner, installed an add-on called Looking Glass. After research, I managed to find out that this is not a Trojan and not spam, but an advertisement for the series “Mr. Robot”.

According to the developers of the Mozilla Firefox browser, users who discovered a problem with the ads themselves agreed to the installation. By default, when installing the program, the Mozilla Shield Studies function is enabled, which allows installing additional modules without permission on behalf of the owner.

Further - even more fun. The series "Mr. Robot" tells of security problems, where the main character, working as an administrator in one company during the day, breaks down other people's servers at night, turning into a hard hacker. Security experts recommend the series for viewing to users who care about the safety of their own data. And Mozilla Firefox, here acts as a mouthpiece that alerts the masses in such a strange way.
