NoScript has a bit of a learning curve, but you will quickly get the hang of it. Basically, you block active content globally, and allow it only for the site you are visiting if the site requires it to work properly. If various features of the website still fail to work, you then start temporarily allowing the additional content. You can middle-click any of the domains shown in the NoScript dropdown list to view information about the domain. The idea is to allow the website itself and legitimate additional domains used by the site (Googlemaps, for example) while blocking other domains, such as advertising sites that may be serving malvertisements that redirect the browser.
USA Today, HardOCP, Neowin and Slickdeals were the pages. If your assumption is correct, and I have no reason to assume otherwise, then "you just can't trust anyone"!. Have added Noscript add-on to Firefox. Thanks for the link.
These "urgent update" pages are almost certainly JavaScript redirects launched from malicious ads on the legitimate page you are viewing. The best way to avoid these is to impose restrictions on which sites are allowed to run JavaScript in your browser:

Count me in too. I am very conservative in my online habits and surprised by this occurrence. It occurred upon opening Firefox. It was accompanied by a request to download and install firefox-patch.exe which I didn't touch. Using Norton Security Suite from Comcast ver. 22.7.0.76
I don't know if the following can help but you could try scanning your system with this free, on demand scanner and see if it finds anything:

Please download the FREE version, save it to your desktop, and update it before running the scan (You can also keep it on your machine for future on demand second opinion scans, just remember to always update it before running any scans.)
As I mentioned the link the address for the page displayed changes each time, so the link I provided was just an example and as everyone that tried to check it found there is now nothing there. It also somehow doesn't leave a trace in Firefox's Browser History (no matter what address appears).
Personally, you can directly shut down then report that URL. Then, U got the official download of FF@ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
