New Window opened asking you to click to update Firefox - Genuine?
While browsing using Firefox today, a new tab opened asking me to click on a button to update Firefox. Since Firefox normally updates automatically I felt this was a scam and did not press the button. Your site confirms my Firefox is the latest version.
Is this a known/new attempt at virus installation - assuming it was not a genuine page. If so, people need to be warned.
Thanks

Hello jpweir,
Thanks for your concern.
This is possibly a fake update notice.
Firefox updates is done either as a software update in Firefox by way of a .mar file or by downloading it from mozilla.org and never by as a small .exe like this especially since Firefox is also for Mac OSX and Linux.
Go to Mozilla Add-Ons web page and find a good add-popup blocker
