When I open some threads, Firefox is displaying the window below
Abrir (PT) = Open (EN)
Arquivo (PT) = File (EN)

Is anyone experiencing something similar?

I've never seen anything like that & I'm using FF, currently on version 68.

Do you know what threads you've had that on?

Almost all! Very boring ... Sometimes just opened the main page of the site.

This started today - I believe there was an update of Firefox

Last update I had was 9th July & it's telling me I'm up to date.
So not sure why you are getting that.
 
Other sites without problems. Only in the forum this happens :confused:
The URL is always the same
'https://ads.adsinspidsp.com (see post 1)

Worse, it is intermittent - works fine, but suddenly reappears such a window.

I've no idea what's causing, the problem & checking my cookies I don't even have that site listed.
It might be worth running a virus scan, but if you only have the problem on this site, it's unlikely to find anything.
 
I'm getting the same msg. using Firefox. Same version as Marcelo. Just started today. I think Firefox did an update yesterday.
 
Updating ...
Working fine today.

AhoyNC
Is it working properly for you, too?

So far, I'm not getting the pop up today.
