What is POODLE?
POODLE is a flaw in how browsers handle encryption.  This flaw allows attackers to exploit the design of one of the methods used to encrypt traffic between your browser and a website to reveal sensitive information, including passwords.

2.      Allow Firefox to update and restart if needed.
