When I start to log out of your Firefox browser, I get a pop-up stating I have to install a security "patch". So I think it is from you and hit accept. But then I get a c: prompt and it looks as though someone is "pinging" and sending/retrieving information. I quickly closed out of it, but I am worried that someone may be impersonating you, and trying to gather information from me. Please advise! Do you ever have "patches" for firefox? Let me know. Thanks, Robert Tversky
