Malwarebytes is blocking searches Firefox address bar.

Malwarebytes is blocking searches Firefox address bar.

If I enter a search in the address bar, I receive the following message: "Website blocked due to pup. Website blocked: mysearchengine.co.Malwarebytes Browser Guard blocked this website because it may contain pup activity."

I've used Mawarebytes for a long time with Firefox and never had this problem.

I'm using Malywarebytes browser guard with Malywarebytes Premium Version 4.5.0.

Thank you for your reply and suggestion. However, a domain is not being blocked. Rather any attempt on my part to do a search on the address bar. For example, if I enter "best restaurants near me", I get the message "Website blocked due to pup". It doesn't matter what I search; I always the the same website blocked message.

You have been infested with the site. Check your search providers in Firefox and your extensions. Something has snuck in on you.

I entered the options shown in your 'Settings' for Firefox and I can now perform searches on my address bar.

Great! Many thanks for your help.

Gotta watch what sneaks in on a browser. I also delete and block all Notifications as well.

Thank you! I've added all the options to my Firefox browser that you suggested in your last post.

Very much appreciate your terrific help and guidance.
