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.

This showed up today when I went online. I do not know if it is legit or what. What do I do?
The Firefox 3.5.x branch has reached end-of-life and is no longer maintained.<br />
You will no longer receive security updates.<br />
You can update Firefox via "Help > Check for Updates" or download and install the latest Firefox 3.6.x or 4.0.x version.<br />

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? -
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.

**Strongly suspect MEGAUPLOAD; un-install anything related to it.

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. -
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:

Disc for protection of online attacks will not open and it says it is corruptedl
When I opened Firefox I got the following message--
URGENT!
Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks.

I clicked on the site and downloaded the disc and it would not openDo you have OS X 10.3.9 or earlier? Firefox 3.6 requires at least OS X 10.4 and you get that error if trying to install it on an earlier version of OS X.
The last version of Firefox that works on OS X 10.2 - 10.3.9 is Firefox 2.0.0.20 -
Just upgraded to MacBook Pro running 10.8.4. Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes. Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade. Called Apple 2x. If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
Want to convert old movie files to put in Itunes.
What does "old movies" mean to you? File type, audio and/or video compression format(s)?
Can't upgrade QT player preinstalled, so downloaded QT Player 7 and purchased QTPlayer 7 Pro registration code. Can not get it to upgrade.
Did you follow the instructions found here?
If you have a fix, you can email me direct at [email protected]
To which fix do you refer? Activatng QT 7 Pro or converting the files? Even with QT 7 Pro activated you may need to modify your QT codec component configuration depending on the file type and compression formats used to encode your "old movies." There may be many different problems here with each having one or more "fixes." Please try to be more specific regarding your questions. Converting a muxed VOB MPEG2/AC3 file would be very different different from converting an AVI DivX5/MP3 file depending on which application you are attempting to use. -

When I try to download a app even for free it says my security code is wrong on my credit card but it is not wrong why is it doing that?
Is the address on your iTunes account exactly the same (format and spacing etc) as on your credit card bill : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS1646 ? If it is then you could try what it says at the bottom of that page :
If the issue persists, contact your credit card company and verify that they and any company they use to process credit card authorisations have the correct information on file.
And/or try contacting iTunes support : http://www.apple.com/support/itunes/contact/ - click on Contact iTunes Store Support on the right-hand side of the page
