I just received an email purportedly from Mozilla, subject line "Introducing the new and improved Firefox 8, optimized for Facebook. 212.9.27.37". The from-address is "Mozilla Firefox [updater{at}v2331ma0.firefoxx.com]".
Hyperlinks in the footer point to "hxxp://68.143.18.186.nw.nuvox.net/mozilla-firefox/v2331ma0"
It's a lot better constructed (and spelled) than the average phish - but the e-address and url just look wrong.
How am I to verify that emails purporting to be from Mozilla are genuine - and top whom can I forwars suspect emails?

Please excuse at least three typos - "knowe", "top", and "forwars". I should complain about spelling ... !

This is a scam because the links point to sites that are not related to us. We do not use firefoxx. com. Normally these fake emails offer a so called update which in reality will infect your computer with malware. Always only install software if it is downloaded from the official site. And why should we make an update that is optimized for Facebook anyway? Firefox should be fast and user-friendly with every site.
