How do I enable protection against screenshots?
I getting the attached pop-up when trying to open a webpage in a protected browser. Not sure if this is a Kaspersky problem or a Mozilla Firefox issue.
Please can you advice.
Thank you.

I have just called Kaspersky and explained the whole situation.
They assured me that this is definately not a Firefox-issue.
The pop-up seems to be genuine, and they strongly advice TomJmeyer to contact them, so that they can explain to him why he is getting this notification and what to do next.

Hi Tom,
When you click on 'Details', what does it say ?
See FredMcD's post: DON'T click on it !!!

DON'T ! ! ! Contact Kaspersky directly. That link could be a fake.

GOOD ADVICE !!!!
What was I thinking ?!
I am sooo sorry !
Try temporarily disconnecting your router|wifi|cable or whatever or alternatively use Firefox's work offline mode.
Alt+F,K (brings up the menu & toggles the offline setting)
The popup may just be an internal notification from Kaspersky's installed software and should be safe to click on the notification if you are offline. I do not use the Kaspersky software so no idea if it has such a genuine screenshots protection feature.

I have heard the term protected browser bandied around in respect to Security software, but it is worth remembering that Firefox does by default have built in protection against malware & phishing sites.
I think some of these third party features are of only speculative value, and often end up causing problems if the free bundled software does not update when Firefox does.
