Browsing Protection by F-Secure has been blocked for your protection. Why was it blocked? This add-on violates Mozilla's Add-on Policies. This add-on violates Mozilla's add-on policies by executing remote code and insufficient user data handling and protections. My isp says this is a problem with Firefox because the extension works on Edge and Chrome. Will Firefox correct the issues and make the extension functional? Please advise

How can a Security Suite Internet Security Program's Browser Protection Extension/Add-On violate Firefox-Mozilla's Add-On policies?? It is an Anti-Virus, Anti-Malware, Internet Protection, Identity Protection Suite meant to block outside attacks from harming a computer system?

I know I'm old and know JUST enough to get INTO trouble but NOT enough to get OUT, but, what's REALLY going on here? I run Firefox 98.0.1 on a Windows 10 Pro x64 laptop that has shown NO problems with anything like this until this morning around 0830 am PDT, March 18, 2022.

Any real help out there?

Reading suggested articles won't fix this.

Thanks,

OldHeart43
