https://oazeispettegola.net/8801680011381/ccf27c1eb989ffc28d222d8dd0a96cb0.html is requesting a download. How can I tell if the site is part of Mozilla support? Why does the security not block these types of websites? how can I block the website from presenting this information request?

Hi, we are getting a lot of reports like yours of late - it's a scam designed to infect you with malware! NEVER EVER click on anything like that.

If you are in any doubt about the authenticity of update pop-ups etc., it's always best to ignore them and check for yourself by opening the 3-bar menu > Help (question mark at bottom right) > About Firefox. Alternatively, you can press the Alt key to bring up the main menu bar > Help > About Firefox. More - Update Firefox to the latest release.

A possible workaround is to install an ad-blocker, such as -

Or https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus/?src=ss
