Is Firefox_updater.exe Lotolo Setup safe? This was a Firefox popup.
I had a popup this morning from Firefox that indicated I needed to install the program Firefox_updated.exe. It looked like a legitimate file, but as it proceeded to ask questions I declined, but it saved the file to downloads. Properties said it was a Lotolo setup by company Tihuk. Is this a virus/Trojan?

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.
