How to check that I use the latest version of firefox?

I received a message that I don't have the latest version of firefox installed but when I hit the button install a threat warning screen appeared. I chose to get out of there and did not receive the screen setup again.

If you get a pop-up message asking to update Firefox or plugins then this message is probably a scam and you should never respond to such reporting to avoid being infected by malware.

  • Don't update Firefox via "> about" or by downloading and installing Firefox from Mozilla and server never using a popup or a link on a web page.
  • Plugins should be updated only through the plugin itself, or by visiting the home page of the plugin.

  • Cannot install flash, using the latest version of Firefox

    Hi computer noob here.

    Operating system Windows Vista 16 b, browser Firefox V 3.6.23

    Im having some problems with adobe at the moment, first when I tried to install flash on a friends lap top now have downloaded a DLM, then when it is installed it does nothing, I still have no flash, then I come back to adobe and try to download again and he always tells me that I need to install a missing plug-in so it can download... when I click on 'install missing plug' it says Adobe cannot Download the missing file, it gives me the option to download it manually but when I try that it asks me to find a program to open it with? It seems that something does not work properly, please help! Why can't I just go to adobe with Firefox, click on download and restart my browser, it would be so much easier lol

    Second problem, the Windows XP operating system

    Second problem im seen last week is I can not connect to adobe to update my adobe reader software, it keeps telling me that it cannot connect to the server and it stops timing? Is there a problem with installing more recent readers because I tried to update another friends comp too and I had the same problem

    Thanks for the help

    Flash Player: do not use the DLM - it causes no trouble!  Download executable installation programs from http://www.adobe.com/products/flashplayer/fp_distribution3.html

    Adobe Reader: I don't know why the Updater does not; Download the latest version of the player directly from http://ardownload.adobe.com/pub/adobe/reader/win/9.x/9.4.0/en_US/AdbeRdr940_en_US.exe

  • Why doesn't Youtube Bandcamp and same link from Firefox's own comments, recognize that I indeed use the latest version of Firefox?

    I automatically update my Firefox, but some Internet sites say resolutely I use an "outdated browser", such as Youtube, Myspace, Bandcamp and even (I just discovered) Feedback of Firefox own link. They make an assumption based on the fact that I still use Windows XP, or is there something - a framework, perhaps - that I can adjust? Troubleshooting info I pasted below, it looks like the line "User Agent" is the problem. But what I do about it?

    Try resetting your user agent string.

    Type of topic: config in the address bar and press to enter. Accept the warning message that appears, this will take you to a list of preferences.

    In the top search box, type general.useragent

    Right-click on each entry that appears and select Reset, this will set the value to the default value. If it is already set to the default value reset option will be grayed out.

    Restart Firefox and it should properly identify your version of Firefox.

  • Unless my Firefox browser is actually updated (version 8.0.1), on my start page is displayed the message that I'm not using the latest version of Firefox! Is this a bug or is my pirate home page?

    I use Windows XP on a PC and Windows 7 on a MacBook Pro.
    In both cases, as my start page, I use "http://www.google.be/firefox?client=firefox-a & rls = org.mozilla:nl:official".
    Under the Googleframe remains the message "U used nieuwste van Firefox versie niet. Upgrade om het beste ITU internet het vandaag you halen! »
    False: my Firefox is already up-to-date.

    You are indeed updated. Firefox stopped using this address as its start page by default when 4.0 is released - page that you use can be (incorrectly) assuming that, if you are looking at him, you must always be on Firefox 3.6.

    If you restore the default home page , you should get more updated information.

    Thank you

    Try checking for a setting specific to the site here:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Options > privacy

    If you have Firefox set to "use the custom settings for history", click on the Exceptions button to check google.com or www.google.com entries.

    If you do not have Firefox set to "use the custom settings for history" go ahead and select that temporarily to provide access to the dialog box.

    In addition to built-in features, some modules or external software might block cookies. You have related to privacy modules here that might be relevant:

    Orange Firefox button or classic menu Tools > Modules > category: Extensions

    You might try to temporarily disable or check Google-related preferences.

  • Can I use the latest version of Firefox. I have Win XP Pro PIII 600 Mhz. 3.6.25 excellent works, but I still get the message to be updated?

    I am so happy with Firefox 3.6.25 (thank you), but I'm worried update the program because the requirements of system does not respond to my PC or does it? I have Win XP Pro SP2, PIII 600 MHz I still get messages on your part on updating the program but do not know if it is possible.

    Stick with the version you have now. The versions of Firefox 4 + need a processor with SSE2 instruction set, as in the Intel P4 processors.

    http://www.Mozilla.org/en-us/Firefox/9.0/system-requirements/

    Recommended hardware

       * Pentium 4 or newer processor that supports SSE2
       * 512MB of RAM
       * 200MB of hard drive space

  • Browser Web still tells me to upgrade after that I installed the latest version

    Whenever I install an update of Firefox, homepage keeps telling me to upgrade to a newer version, because he thinks that I am still using an outdated version. This happens with other sites that support is more than earlier versions, even if I'm day - they are simply not recognized.

    For example, YouTube continues to display this message at the top of the page asking me to upgrade my browser, even if it's the latest version. All this happens with sites requiring Flash Player, thinking that I use an outdated version of this, too, even if I'm not.

    How can I get the browser to recognize that I use the latest version?

    You need to reset your user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox). Yours is "Mozilla/5.0 (Windows;" U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; RV:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 Firefox/2.0.0.14; MEGAUPLOAD 1.0 ", it has been modified by the addition of megaupload and is stuck on Firefox 2.0.0.14. For more information on how to reset the user agent string so that it shows the correct version of Firefox, see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser
