I have been referred by Firefox to particular articles in Help but on 6 different instances I got "Page Not Found".
In addition, I keep getting prompted to update Firefox when I, in fact have the current version. When I clicked on update in the popup anyway I got an error message. Has anyone else experienced any of this? It looks very suspicious.

If you are talking about the pop-ups asking you to update Firefox then that's a fake. Firefox should only be updated from within and has its own background update manager so these pop ups are misleading. Please see the article [[I found a fake Firefox update] for more information.
