has firefox came out with a new security patch today 12/28/2025 ?
I received a firefox security warning today. Should I download & install this firefox patch version: 1.2 from HTTPS://oolultopwereldvastgoed.net ? And should I save this file ?

The firefoxpatch.exe is 100% FAKE. Do not run this .exe as it reportedly installs CryptoLocker, a ransomware trojan.
Updates are done internally in Firefox (by way of a .mar file) and by download from www.mozilla.org / www.mozilla.org/firefox/all
Mozilla does not host updates on random sites outside of a *.mozilla.org url.
This has been popping up for a couple months now on sites like the above oolultopwereldvastgoed. This fake so called network security scan and firefoxpatch.exe is preying on inexperienced Windows and or Firefox users is trying to trick them into installing it even though the download is not from a mozilla.org url.
