For the last 3 weeks my browser changes to a Firefox Update cover page within 2 min of getting on the net. Can't seem to get rid of it. Not sure if it's a real or bogus update. This is the full header link: [ https://kiezump3uz.com/203403676045/c0ce0406c8f565d28ab7327f23ec0401/efb7b1e91bc98f6e5368674488bcf3cc.html ]. I've looked at other questions about this but they all say the address keeps changing; mine has Not changed once in 3weeks. The size of the JavaScript file is 8.2KB. Seems odd to me. Can you tell me if this IS legit and I need to download it or if it's Bogus, how can I block it? Thanks much and Happy 4th to all the staff at Mozilla.
