A window popped up asking to be allowed and said that BrowseFox.a was the publisher. Is this legit or am I inviting a virus? I was going to click on Troubleshooting information Automatically add (below) but Firefox (you?) prevented it. I do not understand since I thought I was on Firefox/Mozilla's site. Please explain. Thanks

hello powderdrive, this sound like a piece of adware or unwanted software and certainly isn't connected to mozilla. so please don't open this program wherever it is offered to you!

i would also recommend running a scan with different security tools specialised on adware and browser hijackers like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.
