I got a pop-up suggesting it was an official Firefox message on the need for an update, via http://www.patheos.com/galleries/. It sure felt bogus to me and I thought you might want to know about it.

I looked at www.pathoes.com. It is a legitimate web site and not dangerous. However, the /galleries/ postfix results in an "error 404 not found" page. If your pop-up purported to be about a Firefox update, it would be safest to not cllick on it. You might make sure that your version of Firefox is current, but don't do it via the patheos route.
