aesipspaghetticoder.org keeps sending an update firefox when i'm already using the most current firefox update
The page from aesipspaghetticoder.org looks legit, but why would i need an update if Firefox says I'm current?

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.

The scammers made this page with a orange background and large Firefox icon to make it look kind of legit and distract people from the fact they are not on a official *.mozilla.org page.
