Firefox insists I am using an old version, every time I switch on, but I've already done this.

I want to stop using internet explorer, and move to Firefox, but your website insists I have not updated and am using an old version. I've upated timne and again to shut it up, but it still goes on at me!

  • Although I have the latest version of Firefox installed, I'm constantly getting the warning message that I AM USING THE OLD VERSION; what could be the issue here?

    I usually upgrade Firefox within a couple of days when the new version is issued. Nevertheless, I can't seem to get it right. Although when I check "About Firefox" tab in the Help menu it says that my version is 9.0.1 (i.e. the latest version available) - still on the Firefox Update page I always get this annoying msg:
    "''Hey there! Looks like you’re using an old version of Firefox.
    Don’t miss out on the latest technology & security features.
    Get the free upgrade in less than a minute.''" And, I see that your "educated guess" about my browser recognises it as a 3.5.5 version (far being it from the truth!).
    I don't believe that the fact that I'm still using Windows XP should have anything to do with this problem, but fyi - my OS is Win XP SP3, regularly updated and upgraded.
    Also, even though I live in Croatia, I prefer my Firefox (and other programs) in English, so I use UK version of Firefox.
    I do have some problems updating MS .Net Framework - could this be the issue with Firefox too?
    Anyway, I've already tried uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox, even tried installing Croatian version - nothing helped.
    As a result of this, I also have a problem with Gmail - I can only use standard, basic HTML view. Also annoying as hell.
    Btw, as for "Installed plugins" - I'm not sure which of those are right, but I do not have Netscape installed, and never had one on this computer. I even ran the search for term "Netscape" and it came out empty.
    There, I think I've provided as much information as I could think of - so, please help me to sort this out - if you can.
    Thanks

  • I have firefox 7 and still get warnings "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports or Google Plus incompatible. How can I fix?

    When I tried to join Google Plus I get the message Browser no longer supported. First Happened when using firefox 6.0.2 and still happens now with FF 7.
    Also Gmail shows "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly"
    and at the bottom of this page the "educated guess" about my browser shows 3.0.15

    Your about:config has been modified with the lines
    general.useragent.extra.microsoftdotnet
    ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)
    general.useragent.override

    That is why Google is reporting old version.
    You need to ether find out why or create a new profiles and see if this line is gone. [[Profiles]]
    There is some verbose about MS, but I don't know of any MS add-on that would do this.

  • Just finished update. While in the Tips, why did it tell me I have an old version? Hey there! Looks like you're using an old version of Firefox. Don't miss out on the latest technology & security features. Get the free upgrade in less than a minute.

    The top of the screen has an owl like icon & then the following message:
    Hey there! Looks like you’re using an old version of Firefox.
    Don’t miss out on the latest technology & security features.

    Dear Colbabomb; thankyou for your links.
    So far, I looked at your first solution, Revo Uninstaller and it gives you a 30 free trial. Ergo, it will eventually cost money so I'm leery of using those kinds of programs in general, meaning most "free trials" have unwanted strings attached and often are big probs to get rid of later. Perhaps you can assure me that it is easy and very user friendly, before I proceed. And I already ran malwarebytes and it found nothing tho the program still can't be uninstalled. I downloaded Adw Cleaner and during the install, my Norton's security popped up and warned that there were (low risk) threats with two of their "other offers" and i hadn't even actually clicked to agree either of them. Nonetheless, Norton warned me against the "lyrics finder" and "deal ply." In fact, there was a box already with an x in it, saying that you are accepting deal ply if you x on "next." Well, except I unchecked that box before clicking on next, yet when it went to fully install, it still showed that it was adding itself; so, just before the install was 100% completed, I had to abort the whole thing. I really do hope your other suggestions are programs that you personally know that they don't try and trick you. But right now, I would not suggest Adw Cleaner to anyone. I even read the fine print about what they will try and install and how to decline and it still tried sticking stuff on that i believed I had declined. Anyways, i have to leave now, shall pick up later this evening, if my pc is still functioning.

  • I upgraded to 6.02 and still get this message from Gmail: "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly. Upgrade to new version."

    When I opened Gmail in my Firefox browser, I got a message I've never seen, before: "You are using an old version of Firefox which Gmail no longer supports. Some features may not work correctly. Upgrade to new version." I clicked on upgrade to a new version and was taken to the Mozilla site, where I downloaded the latest version of Firefox... then, when I restarted my computer, Gmail still gives me the same message!! What's going on?

    Firefox 4 and later require at least OS X 10.5 and a Mac with an Intel processor.

    For an unofficial Firefox ESR 10.0.4 compatible version (TenFourFox) that runs on PowerPC Macs with OS X 10.4.11 or OS X 10.5.8 you can look at:

  • It says I am using an old version of firefox, when I have the newest version.

    Every websites (including firefox.com) is telling me that I am using an old version browser, but I am sure that I am running Firefox 10.0 (the latest version for now).

    Hi,
    This could be because the browser [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_agent user agent] got overridden/corrupted by an add-on or manually. You can try to [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Resetting_your_useragent_string_to_its_compiled-in_default reset it].
    Type '''about:config''' in the location (address) bar, press enter twice and start typing '''useragent''' in the '''Filter:''' on top.

  • I get a warning about using an old version even after installing v24.

    Several websites (including Mozilla) give me a warning about using an old version. I'm currently on v24 and when I take the advice to upgrade it simply re-installs v24 again but the out of date message doesn't go away!

    Philipp,
    Sorry, should have read the ENTIRE message you sent. Problem solved - thank you so much. Have a great day.

  • I use an old version (v6.0.6) of 4th Dimension.

    I use an old version (v6.0.6) of 4th Dimension. I need an expression to change the last 2 digits of an integer to 50. "change string" doesn't work. What will?
    Explaination: Our state now requires the state withholding to be determined by using a "midrange number". IOW the taxable income must be converted rounded to the nearest 50, i.e. both 2013 and 2093 have to be converted to 2050, and 10223 and 10288 have to be converted to 10250. Change string() won't work. What will?

    That is a question best posed to the developers of that software.

  • My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before and use the same account

    My itunes files were deleted. I was able to use an old back up file to restore some but new downloaded purchases from iTunes for the past 5 months weren't in the back up. How do I get those back since I've paid for them one before? Can you redownload? If so, how?? Please help as I'm missing over 500 previously paid for and downloaded iTunes song purchases.

    This was EXACTLY what I needed about the purchases I made from my device. However, is there a way to re-download other ones you've made from a computer? Because I realized some of them were not just purchased from my device.
    This is a picture of what it looks like now:
    http://tinypic.com/r/107quxu/7
    As you can see, the stuff circled in red doesn't give me an option to download from Cloud Beta because it already says "downloaded".
    any way to get around that?

    PS.... I had a previous version on my computer that needed to be updated.... so I uninstalled it because I was having trouble installing the new version.... so even that did not help!!
