Occasionally I get a message while using Firefox that "something is trying to trick Firefox into accepting an insecure update" I'm using Firefox 5 which, when I click on help/about shows it to be up to date. A Google search shows many other users with the same exact problem.

This issue can be caused by the presence of leftover files in the Firefox program folder (defaults\pref) like a file firefox.js that overrides the update URL with a wrong link.

Do a clean reinstall and be sure to remove the Firefox program folder to remove the file(s) that cause the problem.
