Will Mozilla Foxfire takeover my screen with a Security Update notice requesting me to download?
I just downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Foxfire yesterday 6/8/2016, because of a virus that showed up in my web browser and when I uninstalled Foxfire and resolved the issue I downloaded the newest version of Mozilla Foxfire 47.0 and now, 6/9/2016, I have a request for a Security update to be installed. In the settings I have it set to automatic without asking.

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS
While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}
You can also report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
