I am being asked to download an update that I can not find on site.
I have a menu pop up on my computer telling me there is a security update 5.01 that I should update immediately. However the window does not behave correctly, and I can find no mention of this security update on the Mozilla site. This pop up leads me to a site that says mozilla, but does not show the blue security color on the browser. Is this a dummy site, and is there a legitimate 5.01 update?

If you have problems with updating or with the permissions then easiest is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox program and save the DMG file to the desktop
- Firefox 5.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded
Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.
I don't understand the relationship of this answer with the question I asked. Is there a security update 5.01, or is there not? Is the download legitimate or not?
Yes. There is a security update 5.0.1 that is specially meant or MAC. Windows an Linux users are not offered that update.

Okay, where do I get that security update?
You can download the Firefox 5.0.1 version via the link that I posted above.
