Mozilla Survey

I was checking my email (browser on laptop) and got a header notification at the top of the screen asking if I wanted to participate in a mozilla survey. It was pretty extensive, asking how often I use firefox, why I use it, if I use any other browsers, my age range, education, income, bunch of crap. At the end it asked if I would be interested in doing a video conference survey between August 15 and October 15 for which I would be "compensated" for.

Did I just give some asswipe my email for nothing, or was that a legitimate Mozilla survey?

I have Malwarebytes and don't go out looking for viruses (other than this situation), and the notification was a hanging header that was part of Mozilla.

Anyone else done this before?

Thanks in advance!

Can you specify the e-mail address of the sender?

Hi TyDraniu,

I did not receive an email - it was a small header notification at the top of gmail, under the bookmarks bar.

From a similar experience, I would say there is a good chance you will start receiving spam.

If it was a header notification, it can be ours. Sometimes the marketing team send it to a group of users.
