I repeated get a bogus page in Firefox saying I need to update. How to stop this? Different URL each time.
Every few days a page comes up that looks like Firefox and saying that I need to update. Each time that I have checked, the page has a different URL. Here are two examples:
https://iechudacast.net/903414516612/237a58f2bbeb83f32d354f1b75fd6efd.html https://owohzsuperstroy.org/849414516612/e5e17acdb390dc5d8619a7bc253c2625.html
Is it known who is doing this and is there a good way to stop them?

Hard to catch the scammers as (like you already noticed) they will change their URL on a daily basis.
