A fake Firefox patch pops up at random intervals in the Firefox browser.  Have tried deleting temporary internet files but it still happens.  It doesn't seem to have any ill effects, aside from interrupting what I"m doing.  I just close the tab and it goes away until next time.  Has anyone else experienced this, and is there a way to get rid of it?
