I just installed Quantum, now I get a bunch of misdirects to porn stuff. I tried the same links with Sea Monkey and they all work good, I have since uninstalled
I just did an install on Firefox Quantum, but when I click on links, I get mis-directed to wrong sites, including porn. Is this a legitimate upgrade or was it some sort of trojan? I clicked on the same links using my Sea Monkey browser and all works as it should. I have since uninstalled Firefox, but I am reluctant to try it again. I also did a Malwatrebytes scan, it showed some threats from a couple of Mozilla sources, all of which have now been quarantined.
