Hello everyone, I racked my brains trying to find an answer to this issue because on some usual sites, this panel appeared to me on Firefox. I had received an update for Firefox that very day and didn’t even suspect that it could be the cause... After hours and hours of research, I found that a trial version of Antivirus Bit Defender had installed itself in my activated plugins and add-ons.
By removing this antivirus, the problem disappeared instantly, and it was thanks to the support (which I printed) from Firefox that I was able to solve it.
What a headache and fear at the same time, when it seemed to me that it was just a simple "bug".
Best regards to all and good luck when we find ourselves in this kind of situation!

Hello,
You were tricked by a malicious ad that redirects to a fake Firefox update page.
Any idea where you got this update page from?
Comme l'ange que tu es, tu ris en créant une légèreté dans ma poitrine,
Tes yeux me pénètrent,
(Ta réponse est toujours 'peut-être')
C'est à ce moment-là que je me suis levé et suis parti. -
Hello, I wasn't fooled!
The update was sent to me by Mozilla Firefox, but I may have mischecked a box; what's certain is that I managed to solve it, and that's what matters to me!
Have a good day!
