Fake Firefox Update

more options
Just received an "Urgent Firefox Update" from this url: https://keechmindvalleyacademy.org/7161241442220/0f331df7c92764ad559d424951020d29/f82a1ed2f1946e57b0d1e2

Chosen solution

Do not install/load the patch/update. Press cancel and close the orange screen. This event is happening to many people. Another thread can advise you how to prevent it in the future. There are many web sites (all with advertising) which somehow cause this phony update message to appear.

The URL of the orange screen is the same as the pop-up box wanting you to install the malware / adware. The program / site you were in before the orange screen is of some interest for those who want to experience or test or avoid.

You most likely will not get another update until tomorrow with a new URL.
