Urgent Fire Fox Update Notice - (have a link to malware I'm sure min this post)
I have seen the other posts in the archives but since I didn't have a support username I couldn't respond with a link as requested by others in response to this same question. I actually seem to get it every few days from links after I use the news aggregator DrudgeReoprt.com. It doesn't happen every day I visit the site so it has to be coming either from a link he has posted or a banner ad or some kind of advertiser link on the linked webpages. Just my thought. Tom C This is the link and PLEASE - DO NOT CLICK on it as I'm sure it's MALWARE or a malware site!

If you have seen some other threads about the fake "urgent Firefox update" sites then you may have noticed the links were still untouched. The mods do not bother with breaking the links in any way since only the person who got the link originally could view it. Besides only the fake firefox-patch.js file is a concern if you were to run it on Windows.
It is thought to be from some ad system used on some sites. However since nobody else can view link and is hard to reproduce to get such a link and figure out the details on teh how and where and such it has been a pain. Even Google Chrome users on Windows is being affected by a similar fake urgent Chrome update sites often on the same domains used for the Firefox ones. These random sites are say registered the day before, used for a day and then not seen after.
