What is this and should I allow it to 'upgrade Firefox'? https://suikachudopredki.org/1201276904032/a179146f22858e45e32a571ce81fa7d4/1b26f6a85203e7660a6cf7b8ac0
It loaded on my screen and said it was an update, but the url looked kinda' screwy. I tried to visit the site suikachudopredki.org, but nothing will load. Is this legit, or should I scrub it from my machine?

Hi, it's a fake update designed to infect you with malware! You should NEVER EVER click on anything like that! Please see the article - I found a fake Firefox update.
If you are in any doubt about the authenticity of update pop-ups etc., it's always best to ignore them and check for genuine updates 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 release.
We are trying to find a permanent fix, but it's proving very difficult. A possible workaround which seems to be quite effective, is to install an ad-blocker, such as -

Or, but this may be less effective - https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/adblock-plus

There is indeed a legitamate Firefox update as in Firefox 51.0.1 from www.mozilla.org or www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ and by internal software update in Firefox.
The way Firefox does internal patch updates has not really changed much since the Firefox 1.5 days over eleven years ago.
