When I go searching on Firefox, I receive an error message from:

http://b3m9.info/li/in/ff5.php?keyword=juno.c

Their message beings: 

  "Outdated Browser Detected.
   You are currently using -- Firefox 22 --
   which is now outdated. Please update..."

Since I updated to Firefox 22 just days ago, this message has to be bogus. Just thought I'd let you know about it.

at least make link none clickable

That is a malware message trying to trick you into accepting a malicious download. Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware

Received bogus update request 11/21/13 while on Twitter. Could not cancel request to "save file". Had to close tab.
