Urgent Firefox Update Virus
Hi, I would like to report that I get these redirects to malicious websites from Yahoo.com when it happens I have to click back to get out and return to Yahoo.com and I heard that this isn't a new security problem because this potential security problem first happened back in June/July of 2016 because of previous posts on this website. This problem doesn't happen every day it only happens like twice a week. I have blocked all advertisements using AdBlock Plus for years too. Could you please notify the team about this issue. Thank You.

Oh Mozilla certainly knows about this fake urgent Firefox update scam. The scammers basically use disposable sites almost everyday as they are even targeting Google Chrome users on Windows also. I have also seen at least once report of a fake Flash Player download page using a site that was used for fake Firefox update page that same day.
It's basically malicious ads on Ad networks.
