Agree, I just downloaded Firefox onto my windows PC this week, experienced none of these things, and the process was really easy. I am in the US, so that could be an explanation.

That's so strange, I've experienced all of these things on multiple set ups over the past year+ (based in the US). I wonder what the difference is on why some users do/don't get this...

I expect that pcs of developers are excluded from spam harassment to prevent the only group who is capable of backlash and user-defense to engage in user-defense. I conclude that you work with customer & privat person pcs while most of us here do not. Or are just most of the times on mac and nux.

(I am not the downvoter; misreading things happens to me a lot as well...) I think u/haunter meant that it's, thus, not an EU-wide thing, not that Hungary is not EU
