A new Firefox Download?
Two days ago when I started up my desktop computer, up popped a full screen notice with the Firefox logo an "Critical Firefox Update" ..........Download Here". There was nothing about the update. And the address bar showed a name, etc. that didn't look to be from Firefox or Mozilla, etc. It has never appeared again on my computer again. Was it a fake or for real???

Hi !
Good for you be on the alert ! This is a fake ! Firefox will always update from within the browser and not from a random webpage. Scammers have been using this tactic, trying to get users to download and infect their computer. Hard to get rid off, as they will change their URL on a daily basis.
