Stop links to belombrea.com and other adware/malware sites
Hello:
Somehow over the last several weeks, I have picked up an annoying adware/malware app that is getting Firefox to open a link to belombrea.com which then redirects to another ad site. I have tried using the add-on Block Site but that add-on is not consistent.
BTW...all my apps come from Google Play, which i thought would be free of trojans like this. Am I wrong?
Thanks in advance for any assistance with this issue.

Okay. Assuming those are the official apps from Google Play, I am not so worried about them. I recomend that you clear your browsing history following this guide:
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/clear-your-browsing-history-and-other-personal-data
I think that something has sneaked in with your browising history and this should clear it.
I hope this helps.
OK...I've done that. let's see what happens.
Thanks

No problem, glad we could help.
I'm still getting the links automatically opening in Firefox.

Clear all data in app settings and re launch your Firefox remember signout from Firefox before clearing all data ....
