Go Rando add-in? Has Facebook associations. Probably installed accidentally and/or when something else installed
Use RevoUninstaller to look for it as a standalone program
Check FFox extensions. Otherwise, save your bookmarks and use RevoUninstaller (incl Advanced option) to remove FFox. Re-install.
aaaaaand its gone....just vanished after i accidentally shut off my browser when doing something and opened it back up......damn weird tho :/
guess its all good now?
I use a portable utility called "toggle firefox update" that does exactly that for 2 reasons:
1. Stops the update nag
2. I'm not one to jump on updates as they roll out.
It makes a single reg entry change. I love it!
Before you go to all the trouble of an uninstall\reinstall, try it. It requires a firefox restart after you make the change and is available at the link below:
Toggle Firefox Update : Easily Enable or Disable Automatic Updates in Firefox
edit: sorry, too slow on the keyboard. I see your good now
Not sure what you mean by "pup"They are talking about the pup toolbar
Looks like a manual update check to me. (i.e help\about)
Oh,I see. Thank youThere's TWO pics in the original post.
The "problem" is/was, the very skinny pic on top. The help/about pic was just for reference.
In any case, two shots using toggle firefox from my system:
I know this thread is basically done, but i wanted to add this anyway. on the possibility that this was a PUP, yesterday, i installed malwarebytes temporarily, did a scan, and besides some false positives it picked up (which i did not alter or remove because they AREN'T it), it DID pick up a weird dll file that was in my SysWOW64 folder called BReWErS.dll (yes it was labelled exactly like that), and i.....was absolutely puzzled on when it got there. the date created tab said it was there since 11/7/2023, yet i didnt have any noticeable problems with it, nor do i have any idea what i may have downloaded that put it there. malwarebytes labeled it as PUP.GameHack or something else along the lines....and i still got no clue where it came from
I quarantined it, deleted it, and ran full virus scans with windows security, and superantispyware, everything came back clean, and dism, sfc, and chkdsk reported no problems on that front. all in all, still the weirdest day i ever had with my setup
