Will Mozilla Foxfire takeover my screen with a Security Update notice requesting me to download?
I just downloaded the latest version of Mozilla Foxfire yesterday 6/8/2016, because of a virus that showed up in my web browser and when I uninstalled Foxfire and resolved the issue I downloaded the newest version of Mozilla Foxfire 47.0 and now, 6/9/2016, I have a request for a Security update to be installed. In the settings I have it set to automatic without asking.
