FAKE: Urgent Firefox Update malware
Maybe this has been discussed already but I figure it doesn't hurt to bring it up again.
DON'T CLICK THE LINK! CLOSE THE PAGE OR TAB AND RUN YOUR AV AND MALWARE PROTECTIONS.
DON'T DOWNLOAD ANYTHING THE PAGE BRINGS UP! CLICK THE <CANCEL>.
If you've clicked this, and have problems look for help in the firefox forums.

I had this showing up almost daily for a bit. When you get a message about your browser needing an update, click on the "Help > About" in the menu bar at the top of the window. Firefox will tell you there if your browser is up to date.
I installed the uBlock add-on and haven't seem that crap.
