I received a request to download "urgent Firefox update" from https://sahnggo2speed.org/7821665151345/303202c5fcafdf990f777c20223661e2.html and was wondering if it was for real.

Hi, no it isn't real! Please see the article - I found a fake Firefox update. We are getting a lot of reports like yours of late - it's a scam designed to infect you with malware! NEVER EVER click on anything like that.

If you are in any doubt about the authenticity of update pop-ups etc., it's always best to ignore them and check for yourself by opening the 3-bar menu > Help (question mark at bottom right) > About Firefox. Alternatively, you can press the Alt key to bring up the main menu bar > Help > About Firefox. More - Update Firefox to the latest release.

A possible workaround is to install an adblocker like https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/ublock-origin/

If your question is resolved by this or another answer, please take a minute to let us know. Thank you.
