hello, is the message coming from fireofx itself? if so, please see Firefox says it's just updated every time it starts - how to fix

this however may also be a scam tactic that is trying to trick you into installing malware! only download firefox from its official location at mozilla.org - in addition updates are handled automatically by firefox so you don't have to download anything (you can initiate a check for updates in firefox > help > about firefox).

you might also want to run a full scan of your system with the security software already in place and different tools like the free version of malwarebytes, adwcleaner & kaspersky security scan in order to make sure that there isn't already some sort of malware active on your system that triggers these false alerts.

I got it and clicked on it. Got ads and popups, so I restored my computer to an earlier date. Still get the requests to upgrade.

Hi jsant277, this may be caused by an extension installed in your browser surreptitiously when you downloaded some other software. Try this:

Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:

  • Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
  • orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons

In the left column, click Extensions. Then, if in doubt, disable.

Usually a link will appear above at least one disabled extension to restart Firefox. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.

Does that stop the update solicitations?
