I have received two notifications that the video player for Firefox needs to be updated. When I attempt to install the update, I get the message that it can't be done because Windows applications can't be run on a Mac. Is an update planned for Macs? Also, if an update is only for Windows, is there some way I can indicate that I don't need it, so I won't continue to receive messages?

Chosen solution

You have malware! (Yes, Macs can get malware.)

Please remove this extension and see whether that helps: MediaPlayer 3.3.2

You can do that on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Cmd+Shift+a
  • "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then find that suspicious extension on the right side and remove (or, if in doubt, disable).

Often a link will appear above at least one disabled/removed extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Does that get rid of the deceptive prompts?
