Firefox starts on my machine with a page that is obviously trying to install a virus - the URL is: https://oquaifacefanbuy.net/4758060523348/6e6d0b1a4acfed053c03b6ea6312d77f/3786fb853682eae72492982d01484470.html the title is Critical Firefox update the button to install the "Patch" goes to: https://oquaifacefanbuy.net/4758060523348/1507828552462802/firefox-update.js is your security group doing anything to resolve this?

Hi  ! Firefox will always update from within the browser and not from a random webpage. Scammers have been using this tactic, trying to get users to download and infect their computer. Hard to get rid off, as they will change their URL on a daily basis.

You could consider an ad-blocking add-on like :
