Have you released a stability/security update to 34.0.5; or is this a virus trap?

I am on 34.0.5. When I launch Firefox I get a popup window that is trying to get me to install a Firefox stability and security update (screenshot attached). If I select more information it just takes me to: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/35.0/releasenotes/ . If I select install, I get a virus warning showing that bloatware will be installed if I continue.

As you can see by your link that Firefox 35.0 is the current and came out last Tuesday on January 13.

Firefox from mozilla.org does not come with any viruses. Some antivirus clients still have false positives with the stub installer even though it has existed since Firefox 18.0 but not with the full setup on Windows.
