Which, of course, means just about every website not affiliated with a brand or proprietary interest. This is a ruse and will install malware on your computer.įrom what I have gathered about bogus FF patch notices, they are associated with third-party-ad-supported web sites. What you will see is that in a dormant window, such as a news story you opened and left in the background, the page will be redirected to a visual image like the one you will see above, and a prompt will appear asking you to download a JavaScript file in order to update your Firefox. It spreads through ads used by third-party services such as one finds on major conservative sites like Drudge Report and Breitbart, and has shown up on both of them. If you use Firefox - and this is a better option than the kludgy Microsoft Edge or hoggish Google Chrome browsers - you may have encountered this malware.
