Firefox for windows updates
I keep getting a small box that appears in the upper right corner of my yahoo email home screen that says it is from Firefox and asks if I want to upgrade to the latest version of firefox. If so click here and the upgrade will be installed and your open website connections will still be open once it has been accomplished.
I'm nervous about just believing anything that is presented or pitched to me on the internet.
Upon accessing the firefox website just now under upgrades it says that upgrades to firefox will be made automatically as appropriate, but if I want to manually install an upgrade there is a way to do it.
- Is the small box offering to upgrade my firefox browser actually from firefox? Or some scammer?
I'm thinking that if upgrades are done automatically, why would I get this box asking me if I want to install the latest upgrade?
