I don't know. The first thing that occurred to me on viewing the warning is that Firefox is working as expected -- it is warning me about a malicious site. So why is it asking me to download updates when it appears to be working correctly? It's a contradiction. But maybe that's just me.

Most people (still!) don't question authority and there is a picture of a policeman right on the page, for gosh sakes! The problem with making users afraid is that attackers will find a way to use that fear against them. You can't scare people into thinking critically.
