Hello,
I just installed Firefox 50.1 and everytime I search for a keyword in the adress bar for Google, this popup tab appears. How do i get rid of it?

As you can see, I just type "vpn" in the bar, hit enter, got on Google webpage and there it is. Started Firefox in safe mode, still there...

That is about this whitelist.
- browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.*

You can check if there is an entry for vpn (browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.vpn) and possibly create a new Boolean pref with this name and value true (see browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.localhost)
You can open the about:config page via the location/address bar. You can accept the warning and click "I'll be careful" to continue.

Hello, Thanks for your answer. However I want to turn this COMPLETELY off. Since the same pop up arrives for "Photoshop" (as a test) and theres no browser.fixup.domainwhitelist.photoshop entry. I don't want to edit an entry or click No all the time. :/
