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 in-product Firefox links that lead to a support.mozilla.org page, that has been fixed at the moment. We had to do a temporary roll back from Lithium to the old custom Kitsune platform. More info is at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/712410
