have had and loved firefox for years and loved it until recently.. firefox 28 now tells me to update "flashplayer" when i do this, 3 or 4 tabs open up and start downloading different things,,, "new player", "a repair tool", and a couple of other things that i cant remember.. so i let em load then go into control panel and uninstall them.... trouble is, next time i'm on firefox the whole thing starts over again .. lastly, i have tried numerous times to uninstall ff28 from control panel and it will not uninstall --- why is this, is it something in settings ????? help please !!

If you go to Help, and click About Firefox, it should automatically find and install the latest updates.
If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
- Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
- Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
Do a malware check with several malware scanning programs on the Windows computer. Please scan with all programs because each program detects different malware. All these programs have free versions.
Make sure that you update each program to get the latest version of their databases before doing a scan.
