This occasionally occurs when I start Firefox. Looks like a patch (titled Critical Patch) from Firefox. I have not installed this patch because I set firefox to update automatically. Appears this is the result of some kind of malware. I run Malwarebytes (free version) and that doesn't seem to prevent it from re-occuring.

Please help.
