That's odd, because that functionality is an X11 builtin. Are you
using Wayland by any chance?

Oh and by the way, you don't need a root prompt to kill a misbehaving
Firefox. Just a regular prompt will do.

$ killall firefox

.... will send a SIGKILL to all Firefox processes running under your
user account. If you do that from a root prompt, then it'll kill all
Firefox processes in the system, including those run under a different
UID.

Not that I can tell.
$ cat /etc/sysconfig/desktop
DISPLAYMANAGER=lightdm

]$ systemctl status display-manager.service | grep PID:
Main PID: 790 (lightdm)

> Oh and by the way, you don't need a root prompt to kill a misbehaving

hehehehe, going to assume you can not kill other user process if not root. :)

I have separate user accounts for anything needing id/pw.

$ grep firefox /etc/passwd | wc -l
11

$ grep mail /etc/passwd | wc -l
7

I click a desktop shortcut which will su into whatever account and that login
will launch desired browser/mail user agent.
Upon app exit, it logs out of the account.
Browser accounts submit an at job to tar in a pristine ~/.mozilla tar file
and check for new files.

or use the pkill command pkill -f firefox which is the typical kill command
I use in my scripts.

That's not the right way to check for Wayland. Try this — this is all
one line:

$ loginctl show-session $(awk '/tty/ {print $1}' <(loginctl)) -p\
Type | awk -F= '{print $2}'

If you don't get any output from that command, then you're still using
X11. If you're on Wayland, it will tell you that.

Do you have xkill installed? That's what Ctrl+Alt+Esc invokes,
normally.

Correct. It would be oddly amusing if you could kill other users'
processes. :p

Okay, that explains why you'd want a root prompt. ;)

If so I would have to assume DE hotkey definition which Mageia Xfce does
not have Ctrl+Alt+Esc set. Tried it again and no xkill skull cross bones
pointer shows up to pick app window/screen to kill. My Desktop xkill
shortcut does launch xkill

$ get_src_rpm xkill

It works in Plasma on my system. Press alt-ctrl-esc and then click on a window
such as a konsole, and it kills the konsole.

It doesn't work in Xfce4 though.

Yep, launch "xfce4-settings-editor", select xfce4-keyboard-shortcuts
and scroll around and you will notice no clt-ctrl-esc definition.

I have removed "noscript" because fighting on two fronts is insane. One
battle at a time. And they may be linked

The virus warning is associated with Firefox.
It did not manifest virus warnings with the 'Junk" user even after 50
minutes of running junk user's Firefox.

But came back immediately that I logged back to my site,

I comes through only on Youtube site, but not every time on youtube.

It can happen immediately or may take several minutes.

I am intrigued that the warning uses the notification panel and not a
popup window in Firefox

Firefox does not scan for viruses so it is a phishing attempt
It doesn't happen with junk user.
The time line is erratic. Maybe it is polling

To waste less of my dwindling life span I am considering backup of
bookmarks and passwords and remove re-install Firefox.

I don't have the remotest inkling how the phishing would differentiate
between users on the same machine unless something was installed on my
setup.

All the more reason to remove it

Very good idea to always save bookmarks and whatnot. It does
not hurt to use the saved stuff and do the restore in the app in a test
account to verify no loss of contents. I found out the hard way that I did
not get my ThunderBird address book exported/imported correctly for
importing into claws-mail.

Code on web site keeps database of ip addresses making connection.

Go to http://browserspy.dk/ to see stuff your browser provides.

Saw an article quite awhile back about some smart malware checking if
access was from a virtual machine and would not activate so as to hide
better from malware hunters and code.

As for ip address run any of the following:
curl http://icanhazip.com
curl http://ident.me
curl whatismyip.akamai.com
curl https://ipecho.net/plain
wget -qO - http://icanhazip.com
wget -qO - http://ident.me/
wget -qO - http://smxi.org/opt/ip.php
wget -qO - https://ipecho.net/plain

from both user accounts and you will see that your ISP ip address is the same.

If "junk" is unaffected, just removing and re-installing Firefox is
unlikely to help. The problem most likely rests within the faeychild
Firefox profile. Junk would be using a different profile, but the same
Firefox.

Removing Firefox will not delete the individual user profiles, which
reside in the .mozilla folder in the individual /home directories.

That is because — as I told you — it is a push notification from a
website that you have allowed push notifications for.

You don't have to be online at that particular website; it will send out
the notification as soon as it detects that your browser is online, and
then this notification will be shown in your system tray's notification
area.

You can easily try that out if you have a YouTube account. In your
YouTube settings, enable notifications. Then pull up the page for one
of your favorite channels and click the notification bell. As soon as
they upload a new video and you fire up Firefox, it will pop up a
notification in your system tray.

The question is, of course, which of the sites you have allowed
notifications for is the one sending out that fake virus warning,
because whichever site it is, it is obviously infected with phishing
malware.

And reconstruction from memory is imperfect with nagging doubts about
something missed. I have done stuff like that.

I don't have a test account so the next best thing would be to rename

Yes. The browser certainly squeals. Shouts it from the rooftops

And I always find something at these sites.

navigator.appMinorVersion Property is not supported!
navigator.appMinorVersion is not a string. It's a undefined

navigator.securityPolicy Property is not supported!
navigator.securityPolicy is not a string. It's a undefined .

Does that matter??

Great!! Who knows Now I'm up for more research and heavy Googling

Firefox menu → (Edit →) Settings → Privacy & Security.

Scroll down until you see "Permissions". Click on the "Settings"
button next to "Notifications".

Look at the sites that are listed there. Block anything that looks
suspicious and removing anything that you're certain you're not ever
going to visit.

Pour yourself a drink, Aragorn. I think you found it with the
notification settings

I had two
yahoomail and discaffix.com of all sites.

I disabled them and the notifications stopped

I have been clear for over two hours

You have an irrigating habit for asking questions and not providing
the commands/instructions for us to recreate the condition's for
researching your problem/question.

I spent several minutes looking through browserspy selections and did
not see your messages.

The question was rhetorical . I will have to mark them as such or not
state them. And the "undefined-not supported" mumbo jumbo above is
typical of the comments that sends me off all day to google trying to
understand something I don't care about, And totally sidetracks my

Well that's even more interesting. Your setup is clearly different and
doesn't trigger the same warnings.

After an afternoon on Google will I find that it doesn't matter?
Don't answer that! Rhetorical again :-)

My original "virus" warning seems to have been solved by Aragorn. So
maybe I have the time after all

I found an entry in Notifications for "discaffix". An evil site:
according to Google

And I have saved the "junk" user from destruction

Yep, helps to quickly isolate if the problem is system wide or just
with the user account.

And begs the question were the messages in the terminal or in app?

That is what we do when looking at user questions in an attempt to
run down the problem. If the problem is not in a user pristine app usage
then the problem can be an app setting if not Desktop setting.

The su - junk access rules out Desktop setting. You would logout your
user account and into junk to test under Desktop conditions.

With me testing, it is always with the latest firefox/thunderbird apps because
I usually upgrade from vendor site within a day of new version release.
Also have to take into consideration I run Xfce DE.

> After an afternoon on Google will I find that it doesn't matter?
> Don't answer that! Rhetorical again :-)

For me it is a quick pasting of error message in the second box at
https://www.google.com/advanced_search
scroll possible selections for what looks close as to description
and Solved/Solution word if present.

> My original "virus" warning seems to have been solved by Aragorn. So

Yep, I concur, and the screenshot cleared up that the pop up was just
a site generated message and not a DE Panel notification which threw me
off track. That would worry me.

> I found an entry in Notifications for "discaffix". An evil site:
> according to Google

I would always have to take that Google's warning seriously.

> And I have saved the "junk" user from destruction

That is the purpose of the account, You wipe it and start with a
fresh/clean setup to have a known debugging starting point.

I also have a "normal" account which is an unmodified DE account where
I can use its files for comparesion when debugging some DE problem.

I once experimented with changing Themes and dinked up my account.
That broke me of exterminating in my user account. It improves
productivity to have other accounts for testing. For example: ls /home
bittwister gnome junk kde normal xfce

Absolutely correct
I have a mental block. I have never considered "junK" as sacrificial

I need to have a talk to myself

navigator.appMinorVersion Property is not supported! navigator.appMinorVersion is not a string. It's a undefined
navigator.vendor
navigator.userAgent Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:100.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/100.0 . More info...

I do not pay any attention to anything with 'Microsoft' in the line.
