Was that an email you received, supposedly from PayPal?
If so, see this forum posting - https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/questions/832000#answer-196663

Which version of Firefox are you using?
That information can be found in Help > About Firefox

Firefox 4 did away with the separate Check for Updates menu item in the Help menu; when you click on Help > About Firefox in Firefox 4+ versions the "Check for Updates" is performed automatically (unless you have automatic updates disabled, then you have a Check for Updates button in the About Firefox window).

I'm curious what updating Firefox has to do with an update for PayPal? IMO, that isn't something a website should be attempting to control, especially since Mozilla is still supporting Firefox 3.5.19 and 3.6.17, along with 4.0.1 versions.
