I am getting a popup apparently from Firefox offering a download of a registry cleaner. Is this a ligiit offer or is it bogus? I do not want to download anything that might cause me a problem

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

Indeed, a trap.

Furthermore, if this issue truly happens each time you start Firefox, even when you only have totally trusted websites open, it's likely that you have some malware on your system.

I would advise updating your anti-virus and running a full scan.
