When logging on to Firefox a window has been popping up, first line says "It is strongly recommended that you apply this update for Firefox as soon as possible". Further down in the window a line reads "View more information about this update". Clicking on that line returns nothing. Is this a legitimate update and if so why can't I get more info. on it? If not how can this window be kept from popping up and who is responsible for it?
