if you mean a so called firefox-patch.js file from a random site claiming to have a urgent Firefox update.

This is not from Mozilla or the Firefox web browser as it is Fake. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/i-found-fake-firefox-update

The is due to malvertising Ads on some sites. If you keep getting this then a ad blocking extension like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ can help.

. Whenever you get a message / popup that software / files need to be updated;

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Anytime you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org

You can report such a site at; http://www.google.com/safebrowsing/report_phish/ Google Report Phishing Page which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery

http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/legal/fraud-report/ Help us safeguard Mozilla’s trademarks by reporting misuse

For almost a year, an epidemic of Fake Update Notices have been popping up all over the place. https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/forum-response-i-found-fake-firefox-update

If it is a site serving the fake firefox-patch.js file there is no point reporting those sites since they are only used for a day or so in a disposable fashion so there is no point to tell people to do so as nobody else has done so for months now.

Also I already posted that I found a fake update link.

I note Norton mentions the file is new less than a week old, so it may change on a regular basis, but the fact Norton , and presumably other security software identifies it as malware is good as many users will have protection against this.

Of course something like this has wide reach and even if only a small percentage of users have no active, or outdated, security software the bad guys could still affect millions of users.

These help article are some more general advice
