I am getting a "pop up window" asking to leave firefox nearly every time I do a search. There are some pages that do require this, but it is now occurring whenever I try to change pages. How do I trace the origins of the window please. Thanks. Phil Davis

Hello. Thank you for your help. I am not able to take a screenshot, the page appears to be inactive except for the window. The window says "would you like to leave firefox to view this content" below this there is an active box that asks the options "cancel" or "open". That seems to be the only active part of the page. Is there a way of taking a screenshot other than volume/off key?

Ah, on Android. Go to Settings and select Open links in apps. You can choose between Always, Question and Never.
