Images suddenly disappear after loading. how can I fix this?
Recently I had a problem with my proxy setting and I reset my Freegate settings. After that something bad happened. Whenever I search something is Google image and load an image in new tab, it takes a little time to load the image completely but right after that the image disappears. Sometimes suddenly a tab opens and says that my player setting should be updated; but when I download the "player-setup.exe" file, it quickly disappears from that folder! Once I could copy it before disappearing, but when I clicked on it, an error occurred that "it's not a valid application". My Firefox is the latest version. But I also have other problems with it and I don't know why.

First, update your Shockwave Flash.http://get.adobe.com/shockwave/
Open the Add-ons Manager. Press the <Alt> or <F10> key to bring up the tool bar. Followed by;
Windows; Tools Linux; Edit Mac; application name
Then Add-ons.
Hot key; <Control> (Mac: <Command>) <Shift> A)
On the left side of the page, select Plugins. At the top right is a link to check your plugins.
This smell like you were trying to safe malware, so it might have been your AV software that noticed this file and removed it to prevent infection.
If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
- Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
- Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
