Is this website affiliated with Mozilla Firefox or is it a fake?

I'd like to report a phishing site imitating Mozilla Firefox. It's a fake update in the 3 series of Firefox.

I was on Google images and I suddenly get redirected to a page that resembles an update page for Mozilla Firefox. It tells me to update Adobe Flash Player. I look above and I note the URL. Is it a phishing site or any of the such?

http:// firefoxcenter .perl .sh/

Browse around and it forces a download. I have to keep clicking cancel.

NOTE: Some pages redirect to the official Mozilla Firefox page that involves Facebook, Twitter, about, and so on and so forth. Otherwise, those two sites are hosting a "firefox update" that I assume is a virus or some malware.

Thanks in advance, ~ Paint.
