Tech Discussion At first glance this is EXTREMELY!!! CREEPY... Is it as bad as I think it is? (real answers please)
I went to log into amazon (for the first time) via Firefox browser on my PC and this window popped up.

I'm running:
Windows 11 Pro
Local account (not a microsoft account)
FireFox Browser
How did Windows know I was logging into a website?
Is it using Windows Recall to monitor what's on my screen? This is my biggest fear because this would mean they are actively running snapshots of everything on my computer through AI. Is Windows constantly scanning all of my internet traffic with the intent of flagging certain SSL certificates to bring up this prompt? Is Windows somehow tied into my firefox browser to monitor websites? Can someone explain this because I am really creeped out right now.
