How do I know if an email to click on a link to download a security upgrade for firefox is legitimate?
I received a pop up, supposedly from firefox, that a stability upgrade for security was available by clicking on a link in the pop up and the pop up said it was strongly advised. Did firefox send this pop up or is it a phishing scam?

You appear to be using an outdated unsupported version of firefox. (From looking at the system details aside). You possibly will be unable to update from Firefox 5 to Firefox 7 using the Help menu.
Download the latest version from an official website such as:
- http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/products/download.html
- take CARE not to use any options saying something along the lines of remove personal settings, because that is likely to remove profiles from all normally installed versions of Firefox, and you will loose data such as settings, passwords and bookmarks.
