Ova tema je arhivirana. Postavi novo pitanje ako trebaš pomoć.

the AOL web version keeps urging me to install "Firefox for AOL" on my Linux laptop. What is that, and do I want to do so (will it impact non-AOL usage)?

recurring popup on AOL web page. Says Firefox for AOL is optimized to run better. I don't know if this is a legitimate application (I have been burned by illegitimate "update Firefox" sites that installed malware and spyware and adware on my browser) and I don't know if Firefox for AOL might actually slow down my Mozilla experience on sites other than AOL's web based application.

Sorry to ask this through a "desktop" question portal, but I saw no area to ask about Firefox applications on laptops (only "desktop" or "mobile-Android". Information/FAQs there make no reference to "Firefox for AOL." I DO NOT have the desktop version of AOL on my laptiop.

Hello,

I wouldn't trust any Firefox "update" from a non-Mozilla website. Sometimes, unofficial builds contain adware or malware. If you want to use Firefox for AOL do so at your own risk.
