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.
