Is the Mozilla Reward Center, offering VIP customers the chance to win an iPad and requesting my home address, genuine or a scam?

On my Google Nexus 5, when I access the app ASTRO file manager, I am daily receiving an ad from the "Mozilla Reward Center", offering VIP customers the chance to win an iPad and requesting my home address for shipping should I win.

It looks to me like a scam.

I have saved a pdf of the screen if anyone wishes to see it.

If anyone knows how to block the ads in ASTRO file manager, I would be grateful for help, but I suspect this is not possible.

Hello, This most likely (almost certainly actually) is a scam. Mozilla would never ask you for your home location - and not through an ad. Please don't click the link or provide your personal details.

Thank you for reporting this issue.
