Hi,
Go to, Help > About Firefox.
Note: If you haven't updated to the latest version, then performing the above will
set the auto-update in progress.
Try disabling the process first in...
Tools > Options > Advanced > Update & selecting "Never Check for updates."

On the main menu bar, which, if you don't currently have that displayed, can be accessed by pressing Alt+H.

For future reference : you can check this as follows :

3-bar menu => at the bottom : the question mark = Help (How is one to know, eh ?)
And then => Firefox Health Report.

You could simply hit the Alt key and the menu bar would temporarily show.
Click on View/Toolbars once it's visible and check the Menu bar.
There's really no need for a third party web site as it's a built in function.

If you would have posted here using Firefox, rather than Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; Win64; x64) AppleWebKit/537.36 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/58.0.3029.110 Safari/537.36 you would seen that type of information right here at the bottom of each posting you make.
