V 48.0.1 Windows 10 I had just closed IMDB and facebook. Was watching a youtube video. The Addon - "The Share button for Pinterest" had updated, and this tab showed to tell about the upgrade: http://barisderin.com/?p=2598 Then this exploit/malware prompting site opened in a new tab and tried to get me to download the latest version of Firefox saying "Urgent Firefox update". Creepy! Screenshot attached.
