I receive several messages inviting me to download updates to software which I use. I think they are attempts to get me to assist with phishing or such. The latest 'Software update available' amplifies - "This new Firefox version contains important security and bug fixes, and offers much improved page rendering times." Is this generated by anybody at Mozilla, or automatically at Mozilla? Does Mozilla broadcast these types of messages? As Firefox is set to automatically update, then these messages should have no useful function, other than to assist with downloading some unwelcome device which I do not need. Are there any plug-ins which I should discard?

Updating to Firefox 35 is currently throttled and not everybody gets the new update offered at this moment. If that is the case for you then you can update manually via Help > About.

DO NOT USE ANY OF THE PROVIDED LINKS

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the web site of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to Mozilla.org. {web link}

You can report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery
