A pop-up from: https://weequsavingsenthusiast.net (Takes over Firefox)
I keep getting a pop-up that wants me to download a supposed Firefox update. I know it is not for real because I fell for it once before and had to trash my Firefox and do a reload to get rid of it. They call it: Firefox-patch.js A JavaScript File (8.2 KB) From: https://weequsavingsenthusiast.net Asking: Would you like to save this file?
How can I stop this pop-up? Is there a solution?

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins or scanning for malware then such a message is likely a scam and you should NEVER respond to such an alert to avoid getting infected with malware.
- only update Firefox via "Help > About" or by downloading and installing Firefox from the Mozilla server and never via a pop-up or link on a web page.
- plugins should only be updated via the plugin itself or by visiting the home page of the plugin.

Do you get this pop-up randomly or when you visit specific websites?

Go to the Mozilla Add-ons Web Page {web Link} (There’s a lot of good stuff here) and search for a good ad / pop-up blocker.
