I have a statement on Mozilla that my computer has been blocked and I cannot access any controls on Foxfire, and I am instructed to call x-xxx-xxx-xxxx. What should I do?

Please do not call that number - it is a scam. Mozilla does not provide support over the phone.

This article has some very useful tips and guidance: https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/avoid-and-report-mozilla-tech-support-scams
