Is this a legitimate patch? I am having problems with Yahoo on Firefox hanging up and saying: firefox - yahoo (not responding) My firefox version is 55.03 My operating system is Windows 10 Will reloading firefox solve my problems?

No. That isn't a legal update.
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.
