I am getting a box showing from Avira Cloud which asks if I want to send my password to a new page when I log onto sites I have visited before to purchase products, etc. I can however log onto FB without any questions asked. what is this? and how do I stop it? I have not loaded any Avira products.

Does this happen on sites where you had Firefox save your password, or when you are logging in manually, or both?

Have you tried disabling your two anti-phishing add-ons to see whether that makes any difference? I'm wondering whether either of them is somehow connecting with Avira Cloud in the background.

Do you have any unusual connection settings here:

orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Options > Advanced > Network > "Settings" button

Using "No proxy" should connect directly to the internet, while "Use system proxy settings" should pick up the settings in IE.
