Using Firefox for Android on a Samsung Galaxy S5. Recently I've started getting popups from Mozilla. First it was an add for the 'Privacy Coach" Add on. Today it's the following message:

"Firefox is celebrating 10 years! Share Firefox, the independent choice, with your friends."

How do I stop these unwanted ads from appearing? The last thing I expect or want is Mozilla spamming me.

Thanks,

rik.

Hi coleman.rik,

-) Mozilla is celebrating 10 years this week :-)

They should go away at the end of the week.

celebrating Ten years since Firefox got to version 1.0 as Firefox is really just over 12 years old.

Unfortunately that doesn't answer the question. It's all well and good that Mozilla will stop sending that particular bit of advertising, what I would like to do is to stop ALL of Mozilla's unwanted and unwarranted popups from appearing.
