you don't even have to click on anything. this thing is starting to act like a virus, i went to the weather channel.com & got sent to a bogus "urgent update" site. I suspect ads, but I'm not a programmer.

Hi, yes it's a fake update designed to infect you with malware which we have seen a lot of recently! NEVER EVER click on anything like that! Please see the article - I found a fake Firefox update.

If you are in any doubt about the authenticity of update pop-ups etc., it's always best to ignore them and check for genuine updates yourself, by opening the 3-bar menu > Help (question mark at bottom right) > About Firefox. Alternatively, you can press the Alt key to bring up the main menu bar > Help > About Firefox. More - Update Firefox to the latest release.

You may be right about the ads being the source. A possible workaround which has had some success, is to install an ad-blocker, such as -

Or, but this may be less effective - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus
