Another fake firefox patch-should I download it?
Last week I posted a question about what was a fake firefox patch. There were some responses and I think an admin John99 said they'd tried to get copies of the file but were unsuccessful. I stepped away from my computer for awhile and just got back on it and the screen had the firefox page with a patch to download. I'm not too familiar with how all this stuff works but the window is there for me to save the file. Should I do that? If so then what do I send to someone and to whom? I don't want to screw up my computer!

Hi, we are getting a lot of reports like yours of late. It's a scam 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 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 version.
