Hi
Yes, that email is legitimate (I got a copy myself!), but if you are ever not sure, I recommend (assuming your original copy of Firefox is from a legitimate source), that you check for any updates by going to;
- Help
- About Firefox
If you are online, it will check to see if you are using the latest version and offer you any update that is available to your existing version.
I hope this helps, but if not, please come back here are we can look into a different solution for you.
