Pop-Up Notice
I keep periodically getting a pop-up notice in the top right of my screen, but only on my laptop (I have a desktop I also regularly use and I generally use the Moxilla Firefox browser on both). The Pop-up purports to be from Firefox. The notice says, "Firefox can't update to the latest version." Below that statement it continues, "Download a fresh copy of Firefox and we'll help you install it." There are no logo's or any other representation it is actually from Firefox. I suspect it is a scam of some sort. Please advise...a legitimate notice from Firefox or a scam?
