Is today's (8/11/19) push of "installnewflash.com" legit?
Firefox is frozen on URL https://kb.acronis.com/content/60918 with a popup entitled "Important Firefox Update Available. Click "Install" to continue." It isn't how I expect Firefox to present updates. Is it legit or a virus?

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware 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 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.
TyDraniu and cor-el,
Thank you.
