How do I get rid of 'urgent your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks'. I have the current version. This is irritating. If it continues, I'll get rid of Firefox.

I've downloaded the 'new' version twice in the last week. This has no effect.

You need to reset your user agent string (identifies version of Firefox). Yours has been modified by several add-ons and is now stuck at showing Firefox 3.0.5
For details of how to fix this see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser

Message that says: URGENT! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it's fast and free! I clicked to download version,try to open it, get warning about viruses, coming from firefox?

Is there always a warning about virus downloads for Firefox?

"legitimate message" is not much to go on.
I'd be only too happy to upgrade, but my end users are dependent on Java Initiator to load specific software interface to access Oracle database. that functionality is disabled in FF 3.6 and later...
We aren't the hosts of the database, and our(my) pleas to the admins who host the third party front end to upgrade the JRE on the server are met with, "we're not going to reverse engineer their system..."
So while I'm stuck at 3.5.x, i'd like to know what it is in 3.5.18 or 19 that makes upgrade so Urgent, and I haven't found guidance in support.mozilla.org.

When I open Firefox a message appears: Urgent! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it's fast and free! I've tried downloading upgrade a few times, but when I open Firefox again, same message appears.

All the information is in the question above.

It is possible that your User Agent has been changed by something that you installed. Follow these instructions to reset your User Agent:

If I have just upgraded to the current version, why do I get this message on my homepage? "URGENT! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it's fast and free! "

This message keeps appearing on my google home page no matter which upgrade is installed. this has occured for the last three upgrades. It also affects youtube and hotmail which keep telling me my browser is outdated even though I have just installed the current version. I am running xp pro on an old, slow Netvista.

I have a MAC with OS 10.6.7 and after upgrading Adobe Flash Player to 10.1.102.64, after which I got a message saying Firefox was no longer protected against online attacks. I tried to upgrade to Firefox 4.0.1, could download it but could not install it

When I tried to drag the Firefox icon (as instructed after downloading) to Applications, it kept "bouncing" back. I have assumed my system would not accept it.

What have you figured out? Anything? What you show just shows a pretty quiet system except for firefox having a bunch of tabs open. You've got some page ins and outs so you maybe your'e hitting your HD with swap files more than what you think?
I think something like coconut battery app or something like it will tell you the charge cycles on the battery. How many do you have?
Lastly, are you using any extensions like ad blocker, or click to flash?

What is this " URGENT! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it's fast and free! ? It comes up when I log on

At Firefox Start I get a message saying Urgent Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against on line attacks Get the Upgrade it's fast and free. Get the Upgrade is underined to click on. Is this legit or a scam?

It has a yellow triangle next to it with a ! in it.

That is a legitimate message from Mozilla. Support has ended for Firefox 3.5.19. You need to upgrade to a newer version of Firefox. The hyperlink takes you to a download page for Firefox 4.0.1 and Firefox 3.6.17 is available here - http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

Just upgraded to (downloaded) 4.0.1but note pops up saying my version (old version) is not protected against online attacks - new version not showing up when Firefox opened

When I opened Firefox this morning a note popped up saying my version needs to be upgraded to 4.0.1. I downloaded this version but every time I open Firefox the note still pops up. Version 4.0.1 did download. Why is it not opening with that version?

Your user agent string (identifies the browser version) is reporting that you have Firefox 3.5.4 and not 4.0.1
A quick check to confirm what version you have, if the bookmarks menu has an item called "Organize bookmarks" you will be using Firefox 3.5.19, if it has an item called "Show All Bookmarks" you will have Firefox 4
If you have Firefox 4, you need to reset your user agent string so that it correctly identifies the version of Firefox.
# Type about:config into the location bar and press enter
# Accept the warning message that appears, you will be taken to a list of preferences
# Locate the preference general.useragent.override, right-click on it and select Reset, this will set the user agent string back to the default in Firefox 4
There are other user agent string settings that may have been modified, but these are no longer used in Firefox 4. You can reset them if you want, for details see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser
If you are still using 3.5.4, you will need to run the setup file for Firefox 4.0.1 that you downloaded in order to install it.

I have iBook G4 with Mac 10.4.11 and I received a note: Your version of firefox is no longer protected against online attacs. What do I do?

what version of firefox can I use?

What that message is referring to is one of the safer browsing features no longer working in older versions of Firefox. Firefox has a feature to warn you if a site you are trying to access is a suspected phishing site/web forgery or contains malware. It does this by checking with a database maintained by Google of suspect sites, and if the site is in the Google database it warns you before you access the site. The database used by Firefox 3.0 and earlier has been discontinued so you will no longer get any warnings. Firefox 3.5 and later use a new database of suspect sites.

I get amessage as I open Firefox: 'Urgent, your version of Firefox is no longer protected' I press download the new version and get y' your download should start in a few seconds' it doesn't.
