I got this pop-up twice today indicating it is an update from Mozilla. I am skeptical and have not downloaded. Is this a valid Mozilla download -- or a phishing scam?

Does it really make sense for Mozilla to host a Firefox download from a random weird name website when they have the desktop Firefox downloads for Windows, Mac OSX, and Linux served on *.mozilla.org like www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/

Firefox updates are done internally in Firefox or by download from Mozilla.org

So called update files like firefox-patch.js are Fake and being used by scammers as a way to try and trick inexperienced Windows users into running these files without scanning them first as a start to infecting their Windows install.
