hi, 

I'm running firefox 59.0.1 (64-bit) in arch linux ; since a couple of days there is a wierd situation which I could cope with by googling around.

When using facebook when I want to Share content (not in other options or sites) , there appears a facebook popup wide window which tells me that it has been detected a malware in one of the devices that I have open sessions, which are an android phone and the firefox I mentioned. From the android session I can share content in facebook using the facebook lite app, there the message does not appear. it seems that the problem is only in firefox , if I open chromium I can share content. I closed all other sessions, and from firefox the problem persists. it ssems to be a facebook problem with firefox. It's pretty wierd! Any hint is welcome. Haroldo

Hi, please try : SAFE MODE

In Firefox Safe mode these changes are effective:

  • all extensions are disabled (about:addons)
  • default theme is used (no persona)
  • userChrome.css and userContent.css are ignored (chrome folder)
  • default toolbar layout is used (file: localstore-safe.rdf)
  • Javascript JIT compilers are disabled (prefs: javascript.options.*jit)
  • hardware acceleration is disabled (Options > Advanced > General)
  • plugins are not affected
  • preferences are not affected

TEST''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''''Is the Issue Still There ?

hi ! thank you very much.

I tried the safe mode, and tried the issue again, but it wierdly persists !

Maybe I should blame a facebook sort of conspiracy, or some other malware attack.

What else could I try?

Unfortunately looks like it is in the file system. Unless your Firewall or A/V program is stopping what it should show. Try turning them off and trying the feature.

If it is not the A/V then : Please Refresh but do this 1st: Delete your Cookies and Cache and TEST.

then

TEST....... If no issues then Extensions which need to be added back in 1 at a time and tested ..... Or it is your Profile : Make a new one and test ...:

If is your Profile :

Note: Any customization will revert back to default, you will also need to reinstall Extensions.

Please let us know if this solved your issue or if need further assistance.
