How do I verify that I am running the latest version of firefox?
I received a message that I do not have the latest version of firefox installed but when I hit the install button a threat alert screen appeared. I chose to get out of there and did not receive the install screen again.

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins 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.

Hello,
Click the menu button New Fx Menu , click help Help(the question mark) and select About Firefox. The About Firefox window will appear. The version number is listed underneath the Firefox name.

Hope it helps.
Have a good day ahead.
