Lately I've been receiving requests to update a "plug-in". This is a new message, and I can't get to my usual web sites without upgrading a "plug-in". A list of "plug-ins" is then displayed that require updating. How secure is this update page? Should I log in to your Mozilla web site to insure security? I don't want to be a victim of "phishing". Thank you, Dave Hatch
