It's a 2KB executable file, which doesn't seem like a legitimate crucial Firefox update.

Keazen oplossing

No, it's an ad forcing you to download a malware obfuscating the user as Firefox update. It has been reported a ton of times.


Firefox updates itself through secure and encrypted connection with Mozilla's cloud.

Good call it is malware.

Firefox updates never use that method,

Note Firefox should update from Fx47 to Fx48 on or after 2nd August

Note such links as in your post are personalised and others can not see these files.

If you have the file take care not to run or open it. If you do have the file somewhere safe and are able to try submitting it to virustotal.com for scanning and post back with the link they advise you of. {They advise who recognises files as malware, and pass details on to those AV companies}

Most of the fake update files have been .js files recently I wonder if thy have changed the malware file.
