About this threat

‘Mozilla Firefox Opinion Poll’ Messages, as the name suggests are messages that suddenly pop up, asking you to participate in a survey. It’s not a survey performed by Mozilla, it’s merely scammers trying to earn revenue from you completed surveys. Mozilla Firefox Opinion PollIt could have appeared on your computer because you were visiting a questionable website, or because you have adware installed. If it’s the latter, you have an actual infection, albeit a minor one. You must have picked it up when installing freeware. It went unnoticed as an attached item, and that permitted it to install. Like we said, adware is a rather minor infection so there is no need to worry about it harming your computer. It usually just generates ads, in this case annoying survey messages. With every survey that is completed, the people behind the adware get revenue. This is a rather common thing, and why you should be careful about answering questioners. They are rarely legitimate, and could even be aiming to get your personal information. If it is indeed an infection, you will need to get rid of the adware to remove ‘Mozilla Firefox Opinion Poll’ Messages.

Why are you seeing the ads?

If you were visiting a questionable website, that could be why you got the redirect to this message. You could have also been redirected by adware. Adware is often attached to free programs as an additional offer, which you can deselect if you want. However, those additional offers are often hidden, thus users who rush program installations might not notice, allowing the adware to install alongside. If you want to prevent these kinds of infections in the future, make sure you always choose Advanced or Custom settings when installing something. Those settings make added offers visible, and you are allowed to deselect them. We would recommend you uncheck all the boxes that appear there because unless you are properly informed about their installation, they do not belong on your computer. And they can be annoying to deal with later on, so it’s better to prevent to prevent their installation from the very beginning.

The messages will appear only on Mozilla Firefox, although other browsers have their alternatives. They may happen seldom, only once in a while in order to not cause suspicion. Although, getting the same survey you’ve completed before will be rather strange. You will be asked to answer a few questions related to your Firefox usage, but this survey is not from legitimate Mozilla. If you complete the survey, you’d just be earning revenue for scammers. If this were from Mozilla, the URL for where the survey is hosted would be some kind of official Mozilla page, not a random survey site. To delete ‘Mozilla Firefox Opinion Poll’ Messages, you’ll have to get rid of the adware, and you can find instructions below this article.

You might also see an increase in other kinds of ads as well. Pop ups could show up suddenly, interrupting your browsing,  and ads could appear on sites where you had no trouble with them before. While adware is inside, it’s also recommended that you don’t interact with ads. Not all of them could be hosted on safe websites, thus if you aren’t careful, you could end up with some kind of more serious infection.
