I got a survey of users of Firefox saying I won something, is it a scam?
A separate window jumped upwards and said: "congratulations, you have won the 2014 (Houston) annual visitor survey. I answered the questions in the survey, and then he gave me the choice of 3 prizes. That's where I stopped and realized that this could be a scam any. Firefox even done this kind of thing, because it seems really well done. If not, is there a way to declare this as a scam? If I win something, that's fine, but I want to assure you that it is safe first.
Thank you
Hello, unfortunately you are right to be wary of this. This seems to be a tactic of the scam and no real messages by firefox or mozilla, since we run this type of business or promotions, we focus on great software products development instead!
Maybe that's a problem caused by adware on your pc. Please go to Tools > addons > extensions and remove any suspicious entries (toolbars, the things that you have not installed intentionally, I don't know what purpose they serve, etc.).
Remove a toolbar that has supported your Firefox or the homepage search
Fix Firefox problems caused by malicious software
If it's a site that uses the firefox brand to draw attention or misleading users to participate in these surveys, you can report as a violation of the mozilla brand to https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/ so that other measures can be taken in this regard.
Thank you!

I get notifications of a new version of Firefox. I think I've been on the list of users to beta test and I won't be on this list. I'm not active enough to be of any use to you, dear friends. Thanks for a great product.
You have probably installed which was one of the beta versions of a version in time and then on the beta channel.
An easy way to return to the output channel is to install Firefox 34 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/
35.0 Firefox is on channel beta because there have been six versions so far with nine being the average.

In Manager of modules entry page/Plugins for Shockwave Flash appears the line "Shockwave Flash is known to be vulnerable and need to be updated." It is followed by a link reading "Update Now". When I click on this link, Firefox thinks for a while and then displays a page that says (it is long enough, so it is a summary) versions of Shockwave Flash is disabled, then this page is displayed when you click on one of the links.
Given that 'Update Now' does not work, please send me an executable file that will solve this problem. Firefox says it's version 30.0.
Hi SF11blocked,
I understand that you have tried to add Shockwave Flash for Firefox and are prompted to update, but when you're from the support site and submitted your question came a lot of text boxes and many were submitted. I also understand when you logged on to the Site from Adobe there are two problems:The first problem was that he had never had an activation in the drop-down list for this entry. (Perhaps it had been removed that plugin has been disabled?)
The second problem was that I had deleted the entry Shockwave.If you have deleted the entry of: [subject: addons] http://helpx.adobe.com/flash-player/k.../enabling-flash-player-firefox.html then you uninstalled.
Is it deleted when it has been disabled? He should not have been.I recommend to download and install it once again from the original download in your download folder. If she's gone, I would recommend starting over.
Please post back with your results.

I can't 'click' on the top inch of any screen in the case of firefox. It won't let me sign in and out of some Web pages. If I reduce the screen that disappears not or the other. This happens not when I'm on my desk or using IE. I like firefox, but it's frustrating! Help!
Try Firefox SafeMode to see how it works there.
A way of solving problems, which disables most of the modules.
(If you use it, switch to the default theme).- You can open the Firefox 4, 5, 6, 7 SafeMode pressing the SHIFT key when you use the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
- Or use the Help menu option, click restart with the disabled... modules while Firefox is running.
Do not choose anything at the moment, just use 'continue in safe mode.
To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before using the shortcut of Firefox (without the Shift key) to open it again.
If it's good in Firefox SafeMode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one.
