What is the solution to this - Is there one that won't make my eyes roll back in my head? Is it a real message from Firefox?

the popup looks like this:


[firefix logo] Software Update

Update Failed

Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated,

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS.

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the web site of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to Mozilla.org or Firefox In Any Language.

Go to Mozilla.org or Firefox In Any Language and download the full installer. Let us know how you do.
