Update (Firefox) browser extension looked visually dodgy

Hi
Now I've started using 1P across all my devices (Win 7 PC, Mac & iPhone) I should be feeling more secure - 1P is a great bit of software, but I wasn't terribly impressed with the FF extension update notification.
Tonight when I went to log into a site via my Firefox extension on my Win 7 PC, after I clicked the 1P icon I got a message saying an update was available. However, this was a pretty plain looking notification, there was no reference to Agile (that I noticed), and only a single reference to 1Pasword anywhere in the update info. I have updated, but I have to say I was a little nervous because it didn't have a particularly professional look/feel to the notification, and after I hit update I did wonder whether it wasn't bonafide, and someone was now in possession of all my secure data.
I know I'm just being paranoid - I am aren't I (?), but perhaps the update notification could look a bit more genuine in future?
