Is "UpdateBrowserForApp" message from Firefox?
Periodically, randomly is all I can say, a message window opens when I power on with a statement about "UpdateBrowserForApp" having stopped working; and then I'm given options to close the program, etc. See attached screenshot.
Firefox is the only browser I use. Is this message from Firefox or does it mean I should do something related to Firefox?
Thanks for whatever info or help you can give. Lee

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Anytime you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org
