I did a search for "Translate" I clicked on this URL http://mytranslatetool[.]com/translate/lp/ublp2.php?t202id=110878&c1=translation&c2=translate&c3=ublp2&c4=ff&t202kw=&ubn=ff&kw=&aid=

And inadvertently clicked install. Nothing happened and now FF is crashing a lot!!!!

A popup displayed indicating that my FF is out of date. (realizing now it isn't) Is this a virus or malware?

Here's the HTML:

hello bangemout, this doesn't look genuine, so you might have malware present on the system. please perform all these steps:

reset firefox (this will keep your bookmarks and passwords)
afterwards go to the firefox menu ≡ > addons > extensions and in case there are still extensions listed there, disable them.
finally run a full scan of your system with different security tools like the free version of malwarebytes and adwcleaner to make sure that adware isn't present in other places of your system as well.

This was most definitely not a update prompt from Mozilla. A update is either done in Firefox or by downloading from mozilla.org and not by some random site with a long suspicious looking url.

This page is a scam in using the popularity of Firefox in trying to convince inexperienced Windows users in downloading a fake Firefox file to then get the Windows computer infected.

Sometimes a problem with Firefox may be a result of malware installed on your computer, that you may not be aware of.

You can try these free programs to scan for malware, which work with your existing antivirus software:

Microsoft Safety Scanner
MalwareBytes' Anti-Malware
Anti-Rootkit Utility - TDSSKiller
AdwCleaner (for more info, see this alternate AdwCleaner download page)
Hitman Pro
ESET Online Scanner

Microsoft Security Essentials is a good permanent antivirus for Windows 7/Vista/XP if you don't already have one.

Further information can be found in the Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware article.

Did this fix your problems? Please report back to us!

You can sent a report to The FBI via their web site Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) {web link}

You can also report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery

Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}

I would say it is a waste of everybody's time to report cases like this to FBI. You really should just remove that part of your clipboard posting.

Who knows, one of these could resort in something good.
