Hi, 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.
A possible workaround is to install an ad-blocker, such as -
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin
Or, but this may be less effective - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus

Incidentally, you have 5 versions of Shockwave Flash - which can cause problems, so all but the latest should be removed from your machine -
- Install Flash Player - take care to deselect any optional offers!
