virus or malware?

2011 model running High Sierra. Firefox is my preferred web browser

(73.0). I've been an Apple user since forever and I don't think I've

ever had an infection before so I'm not sure what to do. My search

engine preference in Firefox randomly resets to yahoo from google, and

shortly after every restart, Safari opens itself and another app opens

with it called ContentStyles or ThreadProperty. Both of those just

freeze my screen so I'm not sure what they are. Have tried throwing them

in the trash. Have tried throwing Safari in the trash, too, but

computer won't let me. :/

MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.13

If you see an error message while trying to update your device wirelessly, learn what to do. If you need more space for a wireless update, you can update using your computer or delete content manually from

your device. Whether you use your computer or update wirelessly, you'll

have the same amount of free space on your device after you update.

owen meany elizabeth ~ This is just a tip about typing text into these Communities: When you reach the end of the text window, rather than hitting the ↩ key (Return or Enter key), just continue typing. And to begin a new paragraph, hit the ↩ key twice. ...That way, your text will not look "broken up" when viewed on smaller devices such as iPhone:

So you tyoed the entire paragraph of your original post in ASC's Rich Text Editor = New Discussion = right?


When you typed it into the composition box, did the lines appear to wrap "at the right edge" of the box (as one would expect) - OR - while typing, did it look like it ended up posting?


The reason that we are discussing this here is that Apple decided to replace the old siteware with "homegrown" in Dec 2018 - and RTE and other things are STILL acting wacky - unexpected results

OK

It should NOT look the red boxed way if you type constantly without using "typewriter" RETURN key at the end of each line


I also use Firefox 73


When I type a long paragraph, it looks like this


Pasting the same paragraph here
