SCAM???
My current open page suddenly turned to a typical Firfox orange-red page with firefox logo and saying
"CRITICAL FIREFOX UPDATE"
with a download button
I noticed the web address was :
and thankfully did not click on the button.
I have tried searching the firefox website for any critical downloads etc but nothing
if this is scam please WARN

Hi ! Good for you be on the alert ! This is a fake ! Firefox will always update from within the browser and not from a random webpage. Scammers have been using this tactic, trying to get users to download and infect their computer. Hard to get rid off, as they will change their URL on a daily basis. You could consider an ad-blocking add-on like :

Thanks
if this is a continuous thing then Mozilla should have warnings on there opening pages as this seems so realistic
