So I opened up Firefox just now and got a browser hijacker, looks like from Mozilla. Has Mozilla been hacked or are they doing it? Address is

https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/welcome/11/

Which looks like Mozilla, which in a way is even worse. And this is not my home page it's supposed to open with, I assure you. Seems to be plugging VPN for the holidays. Yeah, right.

That is an ad for Mozilla VPN. Note the web address of Mozilla.org
