I'm on my laptop w/Win 10. I keep getting a popup with "Firefox can't update to the latest version," but if I select "Download Firefox" I get a page about FF for Android (I already have FF for Android 80.1.2.) I manually downloaded and updated FF to 80.0.1. Going to Help>About, FF tells me "Firefox is up to date." But I still get the FF can't update popup. I don't want to turn off the notification in case there really is a problem (actually, I don't know that there isn't a problem, but if there is, there's nothing I know that I can do about it).

Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;

DO NOT USE ANY OF PROVIDED LINKS

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Anytime 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


You can report such a site at; http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ Google Report Phishing Page which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
