Mail.com, Firefox conflict

I just signed up for Mail.com and created a new email account there. When I first used it, I received a message (not an email) that I am not using the most current Firefox, and I need to download the most current Firefox. However, Firefox's update function says I am current. Now, I am concerned that Mail.com is not reliable or safe, although it is promoted by Firefox. Can you clear this up?

This is sleazy. It looks like they are lying to you (first screenshot) to get you to install their MailCheck program (second screenshot). WTF.

Their email service might be perfectly fine -- I don't know -- but they need to clean up their act on their marketing game.

Edit: I reported it at https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/about/legal/defend-mozilla-trademarks/
