Every time I go to click on Firefox it defaults to this location. My machine won't update adobe or the flash player to the newest version. Why did this start just 2 days ago? I have Firefox clicked not to update. I have gone to the info bar on about:config and made sure it was false. Nothing works.

If you are having problem with Latest version, Let us know... You are using an old, and outdated version of Firefox..you should do an upgrade asap for security reason...

I don't want to do an upgrade as there are too many complaints about the newer versions of Firefox.

I am tired of trying to download adobe when it won't load on either Firefox or internet explorer. I am tired of it defaulting to Firefox updates. It is not worth my time. I am going to just start using internet explorer where I don't have this problem.
