Hi delchuk, as you suspected, it's malware. This is not how Firefox updates itself. Mozilla also does not use bizarre unfamiliar server names.
These malware distribution sites seem to be using coded links that can't be viewed by support volunteers (we get a blank page).
Can you figure out from your history which site that tab might have launched from? One theory is that it comes from a bad ad in a page but it would be helpful to "name names" (or paste links) to the sites that are causing it.
And if you have never installed any add-ons to block ads, you might want to consider one. These are popular (Note: you would only want to use one at a time):
