hi...i have used Firefox for years on the same laptop. it is used strictly for home use and i am not employed as i am retired. i just loaded Firefox onto a new laptop and noticed it does not have the following statement that my older laptop does...."Your browser is being managed by your organization." what does this mean and who is my organization? thanks
