Fake Firefox Security pop-up malware/adware?
This security pop-up started when I downloaded Firefox and it happens almost daily. My Firefox is updated and yet this pops up claiming I need to click on it for an update (which I have not). Each time I get a pop-up, it has a different and suspicious-looking URL. I suspect this is malware/adware and want to know what Firefox is doing to address these? I see that others have the same problem. I ended my relationship with the other Search engine and want to keep using Firefox but I can't keep using Firefox if these kinds of things are not a security priority. I have very good, up-to-date anti-malware and anti-virus software installed and only seem to have this issue using Firefox. Pop-up blocker claims to be working. Please help us get rid of this...

I tried to attach this to my original but it got hung up. Will try again.
