Did they REALLY put a pop-up ad in their "update" notice?

Unbelievable! Talk about irony. I just got the latest Firefox update. What was it touting? "We've blocked MORE of the pop-up ads!!" And what did it include? A pop-up advertisement from Mozilla. I just wanted to find out if that was a gag, a one-off incident, or someone pirating Mozilla's new update to show that it doesn't do what their touting.

And funnest is perhaps the feature is not pop–up blocker, but an ad–blocker?
