just got a patch alert for Firefox browser
It wanted me to download and install a browser patch ... is this legit? I didn't think to snapshot the screen or get the address but is was not mozilla.

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should never respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
- Only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
- Plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.
Mozilla does not put Firefox downloads or update on random sites outside of *.mozilla.org nor do they do .exe patches since Firefox is also for Mac OSX and Linux.
If you had installed this Fake firefoxpatch .exe it would have infected your Windows with something like a Trojan or CryptoLocker.
