Hi, definitely not from Mozilla Firefox. It's a scam designed to infect you with (possibly phishing) malware.

For reference: If you are in any doubt about the authenticity of Firefox update pop-ups etc., it's always best to ignore them and check for yourself by opening the 3-bar menu > Help (question mark at bottom right) > About Firefox. Alternatively, you can press the Alt key to bring up the main menu bar > Help > About Firefox. More - Update Firefox to the latest release.

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
