Saw this in general chat and thought I'd repost here. Has anyone else been redirected to a fake Firefox update site while browsing the forums? This has apparently happened to a few of us here.

Happened to me too. I had just turned off adblock plus and I got their aggressive prompt. It was really aggressive and fairly believable. Entirely closing the tab/window was the only way to avoid/escape it.

I use Adblock Plus too! Still scary though, that should not be happening.
