Do updates contain the Mozilla or Firefox dot coms as part of the web address?

I have had my screen suddenly display a "firefox Critical update" request along with the Firefox logo, but when I check the web address it does not contain anything I can recognize as coming from either "Mozilla" or "Firefox" and I am wondering how to handle such infringement upon my use of the internet. I gather it is some kind of "phishing" and I would like to report it but am unsure of exactly who should be notified. I have had the same issue with "Adobe" while using "Internet Explorer" and they have a way of using the information I forward to them.

Hi   !

Good for you to be on the alert, for these so-called 'Criticial Updates' are fakes.

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. You could consider an ad-blocking add-on like :
