This fake update scam has existed since mid last year and is well known by Mozilla. The sites the scammers use are disposable as they are used for a day or so before another site is used. The same sites are being used for a similar fake update page for Google and I have seen at least one instance of a fake Adobe Flash Player page to show they are not doing this to just Firefox and how elaborate this is.
