This is not a legitimate patch.

Firefox will never post ads or popups on other websites to notify users of an update. Updates are only distributed from the Firefox/Mozilla website or the update service provided on your browser. Do not install patches from third party services.

To prevent other users from falling for this scam, please file a fraud report with Mozilla of that they can take a look into the issue.

Further information on various Firefox scams and how to prevent them, please refer to this Mozilla support article:
