hello, this is a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware, so don't download or execute this kind of stuff! only download firefox from its official location at mozilla.org - in addition updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can initiate a check for updates in the firefox menu ≡ > help ? > about firefox).

you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

If you saved the .exe (do not run it) can you please upload it to https://www.virustotal.com/ and provide the link after scan. Also Tyler Downer would like a copy if possible as mentioned in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/forums/contributors/712056#post-69483
