I got an update message and when I click it started a download and a screen came up that looked like a Restricted Movie Trailer. Is this from you?
A screen pop up like a youtube video and was a green background saying something like the following movie is rated restricted I do not remember exactly. I closed it immediately because it looked suspicios. Please help.

Your version of firefox is all up to date, this sounds like an attempted malware attack.
Try the following:
- Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware
- Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings
- Make sure Windows is entirely up to date
What did the message say as to what is being updated?
. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS
While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the web site of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to Mozilla.org. {web link}
