Firefox will not update three plugins appearing below the 

   statement in red : " vulnerable plugins".  I tried three times, and 
   all I got was other pages  with lots of ads. I need help. Thanks.

Some plugins may need to be removed using the Control Panel, or Windows Explorer, because they are managed by other software or dropped in nonstandard folders. Can you list the three plugins so people can give specific advice on them?

For the RealPlayer Browser Record Plugin you might need to update RealPlayer or use its options dialog to turn off the recording/downloading feature in order to remove this one.
