after clicking a bad link i got redirected to a website telling me to update my firefox antivirus but it was clearly trying to make me install a malware addon however when i tried to close the website i got the message. To display the webpage again the web browser needs to resend the information you previously submitted

i clicked the X but every time i moved my cursor from the website to the tab bar i got the message and it prevented me from closing the tab or moving to any other tab my sollution was to look up the shortcut to close a tab in a different browser and use it while having my cursor on the website after clicking the x on the message this worked but this seems like it is a problem that needs to be adressed
