I have been sporadically been getting a popup from ziashahalia.org that want me to download an "Urgent Firefox Update". I assume that it is a virus download because the Firefox website says that I have the latest update. Looks like you have a security leak that hackers are taking advantage of.

Hi

You are correct in assuming that this is a gateway to a malicious download. Whilst it may not be caused by Firefox, we are looking into this.

In the meantime, I strongly recommend that you do not click on any such links and make sure that you have updated your copy of Firefox. Further guidance on how to do this can be found here.

This is due to malvertising on legit websites and not due to any explits or security concerns in the Firefox web browser. The scammers behind this is also targeting Google Chrome users on Windows and one of the disposable sites was used for a fake Adobe Flash Player update page also recently.
