Chosen solution

Mozilla doesn't send email about updating Firefox from a link in the email. Someone is trying to induce you to install Malware or a virus on your PC under the guise of a Firefox update.

Thanks for your answer. I thought I could forward it to Firefox so that they could find out who was doing this.
