When I go to Firefox help under Privacy there is a line at the top saying my browser is being managed by my organization. I DO NOT HAVE AN ORGANIZATION CONNECTED TO THIS COMPUTER!

The link seems to go to Webroot which I do have - but that makes no sense.

hi, webroot is probably using enterprise policies to enable listening/filtering your network traffic in firefox, so the message is probably legit, though not entirely obvious on first sight. it has to be somewhat eye-catching though, so that people are aware if untrusted/unauthorised software on the device would be making use of that mechanism.
