In the middle of some games (microsoft) the game stops and opens firefox and trys to down load another game that I don't want. I have to x out of the site and x out of firefox then get my game off of the tray. I want to block the microsoft game site so it won't come up. how do I do this.

Hi we would not know. Your game has a Forum I am sure they will have a answer there for this pop-up. Which as you describe sounds like a pain. Also rude that it opens Firefox to do it when it is closed.

if you can get the address of the pop-ups, your Firewall maybe able to block them. I know mine could. Do not know yours.

Maybe give your self a scan on the off chance you have got something that is calling this up. https://www.malwarebytes.com/

Does not stop Firefox from being called up but if you have ad blockers in like Ublock Origin, Gostery, NoScript,Malwarebytes Exstension it might block it but you would have to leave Firefox running. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/extensions/

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

Hi, and what did I say above, still goes, nothing has changed, it is not a Firefox Issue. It is a Microsoft issue. Please see your Game Forum for help as was previously stated.

The rest were just going out of my way coming up with ideas for you.

See your forum please. Thank You.
