Firefox is telling me that update version 47.0.2 is available, but I can't find any release notes or other info. Is this a real update?

Currently running 47.0.1 on WinXP. Within the last week, each time I start Firefox, I get a popup "bubble" informing me that an update (47.0.2) is available for download and install. However, I cannot find any info about such an update - it's not listed among the "Firefox Releases". In addition, when the update window displays, there is a link to "additional information about this release" (release notes) that does not work.

Is 47.0.2 a real update or should I be concerned about a possible virus/malware?

Thank you. The link to the release notes on the Software Update window is working now, too. Apparently, there was a "timing" issue of sorts - Firefox was aware of and announced the update before the release notes had been posted.

Problem solved.
