A full orange screen popped with Firefox logo and said I needed to do an urgent download to solve a problem. I didn't know where to go to check this out.

Well for starters if it is not a *mozilla.org url or redirects to a *mozilla.org url then it is likely not from Mozilla.

Nothing stops people from using a few product words and a product logo on a page and claiming it is official even if website has a weird name url.

I started a thread listing the sites serving fake Firefox update/patch exe at https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/712056 and as you can see the urls alone should raise a flag to people encountering it.

hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! only download firefox from its official location at mozilla.org - in addition updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can initiate a check for updates in the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > about firefox).

in case this is caused by rogue advertisements on legitimate websites, you could install an adblocking extension in firefox: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.
