Updates are automatic but have a supposed important one to do manually is this a virus?
An update has appeared with the Firefox logo asking to download and install a important update. my options in Firefox is for all updates to be installed automatically As this is the most recent edition I'm wondering Do I follow the instructions and continue or do I ignore this update?

Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 4.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Uninstall your current Firefox version.
- Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
