Are you getting a page with a orange background and Firefox icon from a random web url claiming to have a urgent Firefox update with a firefox-patch.js file? '''This is Fake as it is not from Mozilla or the Firefox web browser'''. The fake firefox-patch.exe and firefox-patch.js files can install things like trojans, viruses, unwanted software or to download additional stuff onto Windows based on past reports if the user runs them. The random name of the websites alone should raise a flag that it was not legit. The Firefox updates have not changed as they are done internally in Firefox (with a .mar type of file) whether on Windows, Mac OSX or Linux (since Firefox 1.5 almost eleven years ago) or by download from mozilla.org like say www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ You could try using a adblocker extension like uBlock Origin to block theses fake ads if you keep getting them. https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ Unfortunately this has gone on for a while now with one or two new sites reported almost everyday. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/712056/ Even if you were to download this firefox-patch.js file it is not a risk unless you were to try and run it. Also this has nothing to do with the Java Plugin. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/i-found-fake-firefox-update

Thank you James. Yes I am. The URL always looked suspect. I'm trying to find a way to block the pages but I can't without downloading another app to block ads.
