“Firefox requires a manual update” ... Firefox Pop-up Scam:

This is a scam ...



I've been using Firefox as my primary browser since the early beta days in 2004. Until this morning I had never seen that popup and decided to track it down especially since I'd had an issue with Firefox last evening (making Bing searches that wouldn't connect because Norton was blocking them and I'd done a system restart I completed this morning). Sure enough It's a scam.

See this post on the Firefox board for considerably more detail: | Message 31701486
