I get these type of messages all the time to download various patches. When I research them I can not find anywhere to validate if they are a legitimate patch. I don't want to be downloading some type of malware, virus, etc. Please tell me how I can verify the validity of these updates or if they are some type destructive code and how to stop receiving them. Also, if they are destructive please explain how they get past security measures built into firefox.

I tried to upload a picture of the message. it was only 29 KB, but after several hours I gave up. I tried several naming conventions, but it simply would not upload the file. I checked the integrity of the file and it was fine. I am providing the written the text contained in the message box below:

Opening firefox-patch.js You have chosen to open: firefox-patch.js which is: JavaScript File (8.4 KB) from https://theigleitnerbox.org Would you like to save this file? Save file Cancel

Thank you for your help.

Good for you be on the alert  ! These are fakes  ! Firefox will always update from within the browser and not from a random webpage. Scammers have been using this tactic, trying to get users to download and infect their computer. Hard to get rid off, as they will change their URL on a daily basis. You could consider an ad-blocking add-on like :

I don't think that you have opened it, but just in case you have, please take a look at this article : https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/troubleshoot-firefox-issues-caused-malware
