Did Firefox send a Video Player Updates
I've been receiving pop-ups informing me that 'You are currently browsing with Firefox and your video player might be outdated, please update to latest version for best performance', with terms & conditions but does not mention which software I'm supposed to allow access for. Please confirm if Firefox send this message?

That is fake as the Firefox browser nor Mozilla would never send such updates. Those behind this fake popup are trying to tricl less experienced Firefox and or Windows users into install malware of some sort.
If you were to install it you would then infect your computer if you were using Windows and not Mac OSX.

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;
DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS
While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the web site of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to Mozilla.org. {web link}
You can also report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse {web link}
