I need to send an email to Mozilla.org--what email address can I use?
I was browsing the Internet, when all of a sudden a new screen appears out of nowhere. The content of this page tells me that my browser needs updated(I just updated to Firefox 27.0 a couple of days ago). To press a button to download a update application. All I did was download the app to my hard drive then realized that this did not come from Mozilla.org--the emblem on this page was a partial image of Firefox's tail. NO wording of Mozilla.org anywhere on this page!
I copy/pasted the web address AND took a screen shot of the page. I need an email address to send you the screenshot of this page for you to examine!
We, the Firefox community, needs to be warned about this!

You can report the website at http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/
Note that such scam pages are usually taken offline within a few days, but get replaced by new pages on other servers.
You should only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
^well maybe not a few days for some sites. A couple of websites targeting inexperienced Windows users using Firefox I have reported a number of times are now down finally as they popped up on occasion in posts here and on mZ back in December/January
This one though based on description looks to be the basic variation that has a browser icon that is much like the Firefox one and there is a green download button. The site also has a basic page version for IE.
