IMPORTANT: IF you use Firefox as your browser...

Then you will want to update it RIGHT NOW so that you are running the most recent version.

Why? Because it has a significant security flaw.

The good news?

It's easy to fix. BUT you should do it right away.

Here's how:

  1. Start Firefox. (Windows users, enable your Menu Bar by right-clicking on the settings icon)
  2. In menu, go to Help > About Firefox or File > About Firefox, depending on your OS
  3. Firefox will automatically start checking for the update and install it
  4. Click Restart Firefox to Update
  5. Go back to About Firefox and check that you are running v39.0.3
If that doesn’t work for whatever reason, then click on this blue link to>> download the latest Firefox version for your operating system and install it.

Simple! Fast! Thanks!
