Not much more to say. They are fake Mozilla Firefox warning scripts, seem to be real small under my time/date space on the bar. if I put my cursor on them I can delete them. Obviously it's malware, and they build up to 5, 6, 7. over a small period of time. One seem to duck away yesterday when I went to delete it. This is crazy...the hackers are always winning on every level. I saw a question before I wrote this about playing video content on Firefox. I NEVER had a problem, and now a bevy of issues. Uploading forever, crashes, stops/starts, audio fallout, , buffering forever, slow motion, etc, etc...and Norton every 5 mins is posting high CPU usage.....really I use my Pc mostly for leisure...and every time I get a report from Norton or F Fox no such mention, or evidence. Anyway these scrips are driving me crazy......what happened, and how do I eradicate this? ( there was a time when virus protection really worked ) Thanks to anyone that can help.

Please consider turning on send info to Mozilla before posting a question. This helps us help you. As I have no info from your system that would help see things that cause issues.

Please use more than one : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware and https://www.malwarebytes.com/adwcleaner/ and https://forums.malwarebytes.com/topic/9573-im-infected-what-do-i-do-now/

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
