    Thursday night Mozilla released a Firefox security patch after finding a serious vulnerability that allows malicious attackers to upload files from a user's computer. The update was released about 24 hours after Mozilla learned of the flaw.

    In a blog post, Mozilla said, "A Firefox user informed us that an advertisement on a news site in Russia was serving a Firefox exploit that searched for sensitive files and uploaded them to a server that appears to be in Ukraine. This morning Mozilla released security updates that fix the vulnerability. All Firefox users are urged to update to Firefox 39.0.3. The fix has also been shipped in Firefox ESR 38.1.1."

    under Firefox
    Tools > Add-ons > plugins tab
    Change all "Adobe" Content to "Ask to Activate" or "Never Activate"
    and
    Tool > Options > Applications tab
    Change all "Adobe" Content to "Always Ask"

    plus
    install NoScript and Adblock
    for extra safety
