I have a problem with giving out too much information like cell phone numbers. Also you keep sneaking in toolbars for stuff I do not want or need by disguising the update info

hello, it is in no way necessary to provide any personal informations in order to use firefox - this rather sounds like a problem with malware on your pc.

please go to firefox > addons > extensions & remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, things that you have not installed intentionally, don't know what purpose they serve, etc). also go to the windows control panel / programs and remove all toolbars or potentially unwanted software from there and run a full scan of your system with the security software that you have in place and different other tools like the free version of malwarebytes & adwcleaner.
