I stream anime on my pc from a anime site and now all of a sudden i can not as there is some sort of pop-up window telling to download a video converter add-on
Ass the question suggests i stream anime from a site and now all of a sudden there is a pop-up on a new tab prompting me to download a video conversion tool add-on to fire fox for downloading and online vids.The pop-up suggests its in correspondence with fire fox. Is this a compulsarry download or not? A i obviously cannot watch anime now!!
Never use to be like this when i stream from that specific site, and its only for that site i get the pop-up! Obviously this is vexing and i hope fire fox is not becoming the next google where verification and personal info is needed for everything you do ( which is a blatent miss use of power and invasion of privacy)

Hi oom Daan !
Would it be possible for you to give us a link to that site and maybe provide us with a screenshot of that pop-up ?
If you need help to create a screenshot, please see :

Hi there
Not that keen on giving a link to the site cause as of late a lot of torrent sites and streaming sites are being shut down du to the corporate sticklers controlling what we watch cant proffit of off them!! But i did post a snap of the pop-up screen!! Hope it helps??
Thank you!
Thank you for that screenshot - red flag !
That channel1.vids.com is bad news !
Go to the 3-bar menu => Addons => and look for any unfamiliar or suspicious looking extensions, like e.g.:
SafeSearch Incognito
SearchAssist Incognito
When you find any : remove them.
Do the same in Windows' Control Panel => Programs.
However : most malware will be 'hiding' somewhere , so
let's run malware scans :

Run most or all of the listed malware scanners.
They all work differently - what one program doesn't pick up, the other might.
Also : please, do not click on anything when you see those pop-ups !
Maybe you'd like to consider installing this add-on, which may help prevent this from happening again in the future :
