Firefox Annoying "Update available" popup

[Arceenut]

I get a very annoying "Upgrade available" popup whenever I am using Firefox browser. It suggests downloading the latest version of Firefox. I have done so a number of times but the popup appears again and again. I am getting annoyed enough to consider removing Firefox and using some other browser ,unless Firefox gets their ass in gear and fix this problem.

It has been almost a year and nobody has posted a way to stop this **bleep**!!

I agree. Is this pop up from Firefox, or is it a virus?
