A screen popped up from reeshmogilev.org telling me that there is a critical Firefox update & to download the patch. I thought FireFox updates itself automatically. Is this a scam or virus or trogan horse?

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should NEVER respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.

  • only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
  • plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
