Where can we report malware posing as Firefox updates?

I had a pop up window in firefox with url mediaupdate41.com/476/?v1=1&v2=1&v3=1 This pop up window declared that the Firefox video player needs to be updated. Newest version released: December 23, 2014. I think it's pretty clear this is some sort of attempt to install malware or perform some other nefarious deed. Where would be the best place to report this type of incident? Screenshot of the pop up window is included.

Which is the Report Trademark abuse link on bottom of many mozilla.org pages including here.

    I need block a particular site, just like in IE when i goto Privacy option I can specify and site & say Block - where can i find thi s in firefox?
    I've been getting some junk websites while I am working. I need to block them completely.
    Please advise. Thanks,

    There is no equivalent in Firefox. You can use the [https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/3145/ BlockSite] extension to add a similar feature.
    If the junk sites are coming up whilst you are browsing, this may be caused by malware. You should consider scanning your computer with some malware programs. It is best to run several as each will pick up things that the others miss. Some scanners you can try are:

  • I want to go back to Firefox 4, where can I find a download of Firefox 4? I will eventually use FF5, but just now too many add ons are not available

    where can I find a download of Firefox 4, I feel uncomfortable with FF5 because so many add-ons are still missing, I will eventually use FF5, but right now I want to go back to nr. 4

    Try using the Add-on Compatibility Reporter to override compatibility. <br />
    https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/add-on-compatibility-reporter/
    Firefox 4 versions aren't supported by security updates that are included in Firefox 5.0 and Firefox 3.6.18. If you are gonna "go back", use 3.6.18 instead. <br />

  • HT1391 Where can i report my iPhone lost to Apple? and Can Apple lock it?

    Where can i report my iPhone lost to Apple? and Can Apple lock it?

    If you set up the Find My iPhone service prior to your iPhone going missing, then there is a chance that can be tracked and locked, though it depends on a number of factors: the iPhone is turned on, connected to either the 3G or a WiFi network, or has not had the Find My iPhone service disabled or the iPhone been completely restored. Log into icloud.com and go to the Find My iPhone section. If you did not set up Find My iPhone, check with your cell carrier. Some carriers offer their own tracking service, though you usually have to sign up when you still have the phone and have to pay for the service. 
    If your carrier does not offer such a service and you did not set up Find My iPhone, then there is no way to track the unit nor lock it, though if you set a screenlock passcode, it would be locked already. Notify the police and your cell carrier, and change any passwords for any online accounts you may have used from your iPhone (the iTunes Store, for instance). 
    Regards.

  • Report a possibly fake firefox update being provided on *****

    while browsing through image results on google the tab redirected itself to ***** where it asked to download a new firefox update. This update was repored to be containing a malicious software by windows malicious software removal tool. Also the website looks fake.
    '''Edited by a moderator to remove link that will install malware'''

    Yes. That website is fake. When the site is accessed, a rogue anti-virus software attempts to install. You can read an article about it [http://blogs.pcmag.com/securitywatch/2010/07/fake_firefox_flash_update_is_r.php here.] Report the page by going to Help | Report Web Forgery. I will also let the people who are looking into this scam know about this link.

  • TS4027 [HELP!!] where can i download mainstage 2.2.2 update?

    Hi, anybody knows where can i download mainstage 2.2.2 update? i still always experience unexpected quit which will greatly affect the stability of live performance!!! help please~~~
    thx very much in advance!!!!

    Wow... people need to learn to get back to you lol. You do not need to use 64-bit because it is really only useful for opening more than 4Gb RAM. you only have 4 so it would not benifit you. If you wanted to try to open it as 64-bit tho (Not Going To Help), just close the program, go to your Applications folder in finder, right click on Mainstage and go to "Get Info", under the General tab you will see a check box to open in 32-bit or not. uncheck the box to open in 64-bit mode. But like I said, it will not help you:/

    Hi, and welcome to Apple Support Communities.
    You can't download Mac OS X 10.5; you need to purchase it.

    The Reset Firefox feature can fix many issues by restoring Firefox to its factory default state while saving your essential information.
    Note: ''This will cause you to lose any Extensions, Open websites, and some Preferences.''
    To Reset Firefox do the following:
    #Go to Firefox > Help > Troubleshooting Information.
    #Click the "Reset Firefox" button.
    #Firefox will close and reset. After Firefox is done, it will show a window with the information that is imported. Click Finish.
    #Firefox will open with all factory defaults applied.
    Further information can be found in the [[Reset Firefox – easily fix most problems]] article.

  • Where can I report malicious apps?

    I just downloaded an app saying it is for gtalk. Actually it is for stealing your google password. After logging in, I got notified someone tried to log in to my google account from the US.
    I was stupid, but could we avoid others do the same mistake? Where could I report the app?

    I don't have a problem with the reminders app.  It's just not that effective.
    If I have 5 reminders for today - at, say, 2:00 pm - and it beeps, it doesn't do two things:
    It doesn't persistantly beep.
    It doesn't let me re-schedule the reminder.
    That's pretty lame.  So, I swipe my finger to open the iPod, and all the reminders disappear.  I have to open the reminders app, and manually re-schedule each reminder to remind me later.  They're not even highlighted.  Only one or two might be red.
    Do you know where I can read my reminders on my PC?  I do back-ups with iTunes.  Where do my reminders go? Can I print them to a text file?
