The pages says "In general, Gmail supports the current and prior major release of Chrome, Firefox, Internet Explorer and Safari." You are running Firefox 28. The current version is 37 and 38 comes out tomorrow. You BADLY need to update. Please do so ASAP. Update Firefox to the latest release

You are correct, but when I did click "update mozilla firefox now" I got redirected for a page that is not mozilla firefox update page, and this page tell the user that there are other browsers and that one gmail functionality is only supported in their browser...

I dont think that i'ts ok for you "seller", being about to make a deal with me in your store and the momment right before of giving me the product, comes a vendor and tells me that there are other products that might fit me better...

And what I whant to achieve here is if this kind of order interception, (yes is order because I did click "update firefox" and not "show me more browsers") its ok for mozilla corp.

You didn't click the official Firefox update prompt, this is a prompt Google offers. It might be a bit slimy (promoting their browser) but it's legal. Just update your Firefox and keep it updated and you won't have to worry.
