Just started using Firefox regularly the other day - is it normal to get these critical update tab popups (pic below)?

If you look at the URL, it's not Firefox.

Agreed!!

We can check the URL by hovering the mouse over the link and in the lower left corner the address will pop up.

I'm on version 52.0.2
I don't get pop-ups... but I also use no script.
Try the help section at the top of the page and search for updates there.



"Some things are apparent. Where government moves in, community retreats, civil society disintegrates and our ability to control our own destiny atrophies. The result is: families under siege; war in the streets; unapologetic expropriation of property; the precipitous decline of the rule of law; the rapid rise of corruption; the loss of civility and the triumph of deceit. The result is a debased, debauched culture which finds moral depravity entertaining and virtue contemptible."

Firefox updates itself.

Mine usually updates when I start it. I have never gotten a pop up. I would be very leery of it.

I used to be a fan but it seemed to have gotten a bit slow and bloated in recent years. Switched to Chrome and am happy with how fast and nonbloated it is.

I'm not sure chrome is the browser it once was. I switched from Firefox to Chrome years ago when Firefox got slow. I get alot of "Google Chrome Helper" hogging my CPU way to often in the last year or so.

I used Firefox in the past, but it got to where it just never ran right on my mac.

Agreed. A few years ago it started running extremely slowly and randomly crashing for no apparent reason. Didn't seem to matter what I did, it just didn't work right on the mac. I ended up switching back to Safari, which was (ironically?) about the time it started to be useful again.

Now I pretty much stick to TOR Browser.

For me, I use whatever browser streams my Filmstruck the best. IE (internet explorder) never worked, can't log in let alone watch a film. Chrome worked for a while, then became a hassle with Adobe Flash crashing and having to be uninstalled and reinstalled - using IE (you can't fix it with Chrome). Firefox works like a dream.
