This keeps popping up wanting me to install it.

It doesn't appear to be Mozilla in origin. What is it????? When it pops up all I can do is close it. When I re-open Firefox browser all my settings (options) are re-set back to defaults.....

What's up with that?????

hi, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff just because of a popup or redirect on a website! updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything for that (and you can always initiate a manual check for updates in the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > about firefox).

we suspect this is coming form "malvertising" (=ads placed on legitimate websites that redirect you to this fraudulent message), so using an adblocking addon like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ would also help with that.

I found a fake Firefox update
