received adware files
I received a popup to open a file called measureadv.com. It wants to open in pale moon. I put it in my hosts file and now appears to be blocked. After this I got files with s.seedtag.com and sync.aniview.com. I believe these are adware. Do they have anything to do with pale moon or is it the default so they want to open there. Of course, I did not open any of these.

Re: received adware files
For me just opening web pages pops up the download
dialog to download various different files. Have to keep canceling them.

33.9.0.1 is released that should address this issue.
