I find it suspicious that a critical update that interrupts Firefox use doesn't come from firefox/mozilla, but rather from quiniaffiliate4you.org, who does not show up on a google search. Is this a legitimate update/patch?

No, it is FAKE!

Unfortunately, it's all to easy for a site to steal the Firefox Logo, slap it on an orange page, and trick many people into opening a dangerous download. Thank you for not falling for that.

There has been a concerted campaign for over a year to infect browser users this way. The redirects seem to be triggered through ads on popular sites. If you cancel that download dialog (you can press Esc) and right-click the Back button, you can see what site's ads were responsible.

Firefox's bad sites blocker helps with this problem, but they launch a new domain every day, so there's always a gap in protection. If you haven't considered using an extension to block unwanted ads, you might take a look: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/ad.../ublock-origin/.

As with any kind of content filter, you may find some sites do not display correctly unless you make an exception. In the end, you'll have to decide whether your experience is better overall with or without the ad blocker.

And finally:
