My phone showed gambling pop-ups said to be from Firefox. I solved this by uninstalling Firefox.

I started seeing a gambling pop-up on my Android phone. I installed a tracker that said the source was the Firefox broser. I uninstalled Firefox. So far no more pop-ups.

There are many apps that are hosts for random annoying pop-ups. Mostly the ones that you wouldn't expect to be popping up ads.

Hi

The software that you are using identifed Firefox as it is a web browser.

I would recomend clearing the history from Firefox for Android and giving it another shot.
