Just received this Firefox notice: https://aayeiiclub.com/9471626312334/9a5520a6118a81e60c8ab6fe264b3e2d/c09844040956b175278ab245ad5992dc.html
I just received this "Urgent Firefox Update" notice that had a file with a " .js " extension on it. Is this legit???
Please inform!!!

hi, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff just because of a popup or redirect on a website! updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything for that (and you can always initiate a manual check for updates in the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > about firefox).
we suspect this is coming form "malvertising" (=ads placed on legitimate websites that redirect you to this fraudulent message), so using an adblocking addon like https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/ would also help with that.
