This is a BOGUS javascript file. This file is corrupted. If you see this come up on your Firefox Browser, we have not installed. This may also load as your home page. This weblink of oophig-tools.com is not affiliated with MOZILLA FIREFOX at all. But it, loads as the homepage requesting you to do a patch, or you may see it while browsing in Firefox. Have you seen this in version 50 of Firefox??

Sounds like you have malware or at least unwanted adware on your computer. Try scanning with all the tools listed in this article

Was the page with the so called patch looking like example in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/i-found-fake-firefox-update then this scam has been known for several months now. Each time it is a different site so it is not so easy to block.
