You should provide the actual log report so others can view it not cut and paste log errors.

Maybe you should provide some direction as to what log you want to see... and how I should prepare it. This the only information I have. I have reached out to Malwarebytes and opened a ticket...

You can use the about:networking tool to see whether that gives information about this IP. You can open "about:" pages via the location/address bar. The "about:" protocol is used to access special pages. You can find all available about pages listed on the about:about page.

Thank you cor-el for the info... I'm looking through that now. I have also found other post with the similar issues. Most are from older versions of FF... I am updated and running newest ver... Now, I am on another workstation and found this history: Malwarebytes www.malwarebytes.com -Log Details- Protection Event Date: 9/13/23 Protection Event Time: 4:18 PM Log File: a601d514-5272-11ee-a924-1866da125437.json -Software Information- Version: 4.6.2.281 Components Version: 1.0.2131 Update Package Version: 1.0.75227 License: Premium -System Information- OS: Windows 10 (Build 19045.3324) CPU: x64 File System: NTFS User: System -Blocked Website Details- Malicious Website: 1 , C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe, Blocked, -1, -1, 0.0.0, , -Website Data- Category: Malware Domain: IP Address: 2620:1ec:bdf::41 Port: 443 Type: Outbound File: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\firefox.exe

The above threat was blocked four days before the blocked site reported above... and this is when I logged into my FF Account on this workstation.

Using the suggestions from your (cor-el) post, I looked at the about:networking and have not found the IP's... The address from this one is on an encrypted port, the other blocked IP was on an unencrypted port...

What I find in common is that the threat is Outbound... and was initiated by FF on it's own...

I've been doing this for ~50 years... retired MIS/IT administrator... background as programmer, Software Development Manager, etc, etc... Things have changed quite a bit and I'm am struggling to keep up...

I appreciate any and all help I can get... I'm sure there is someone out there that knows much more about this issue...
