Is " firefox-patch(8).js " from cahmetodotango.com valid ? Prior updates have come with ".net" address.

I received, on 5/9/17, a pop-up that the above patch was needed. Malwarebytes Premium would not allow installation, so I did not install. Today I noticed that prior downloads of updates came from addresses ending in ".net". The rejected patch was from an address ending in ".com". Should I use this as a flag for future purported updates ?

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Anytime you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}
