Is "Firefox Security Scan" ligitimate?
While on Esqiure website, looking at the "top 100 Si-fi movie" article a window popped up saying my Firefox Security Scan" was ready. Is this legitimate?

No, that doesn't sound like a real thing at all.
It might have been generated by an ad on the site, or it might be something inserted by an add-on.
Could you check for and disable any nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
In the left column, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side and, if in doubt, disable.
Often a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Does that eliminate suspicious popups?
