[MacGroup] not FaceBook

Found this on a search online also (19) Malware Checkpoint for Facebook
https://www.facebook.com/notes/facebook-security/malware-checkpoint-for-facebook/10150902333195766

so it seems it is from FB themselves.

Re: [MacGroup] not FaceBook

Since it's only happening on Firefox, I'd just clear my Firefox cache and see 
if that takes care of it. If you get that page again, check the URL and see if 
it's actually on the Facebook site. It sounds as though it might possibly come 
from them, but the typo on "sharing" makes me skeptical.
