Every time I listen to Pandora lately I've been getting a message about an Urgent Firefox Update. This is the webpage. https://ungecchinadaily.net/106418133270/27b90b787643a7e3cded3927e1cef2b6/35df083d7e04e182a8e4fd2e74d47e80.html.

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 -

Or, but this may be less effective - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus
