I have updated my firefox version but it keeps on telling me that I do not have the latest version, even though I just updated it.

On the homepage of firefox it sayd that I do not have the latest version of firefox. So i desidet to update it, but after that it kept on telling me that I do not have the latest version. I am sure that I have the latest version because I just updated it. Is it possible that the update did not work or is just an advertisement firefox shows to everyone? Hopefully you can provide me an answer, which would be helpful.
Computer's operating system: vista (I do not know whether this is relevant)

The machine could be repaired by a company that does circuit board re-soldering, since it is possible a heat-flex solder break on the main board may have caused either the processor or graphics chips to lose connection and that could manifest itself in a few somewhat documented ways.
There is an on-board RAM chip that may also have something to do with a kernel panic, if it no longer is functioning correctly; that is the non-removable one soldered on the board you never usually worry about.
Companies such as powerbookmedic, wegenermedia, and others can take in portable macs of vintage or newer (contact them for details on what they do, and how they accept work orders) for repair and can fix most anything; and have a parts inventory. Modern repair workstations allow the equipped service company to fix complex issues and they do troubleshooting. Sometimes the cost is less than a replacement logic board.
The links above may help isolate the general cause of a kernel panic. There are other articles in Support database including a deeper look into them.

Usually the issue is caused by hardware, especially if there is an indication of machine failure in the crash log or other screen image text.
A working last model MacBook (mid-2010) would be a better 'first mac' to have.
Hopefully you can sort it out.
If not, there likely are fair parts in it.
Good luck & happy computing!

    this has happened several times when i have downloaded he latest version - currently the one released 21 dec 2011 i downloaded did the same - everything goes fine with the download and the older version it says is replaed - i am on a mac but that shouldn't matter i guess - what do you think

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • I have uploaded the latest veersion of Firefox but when I start Firefrox it says I am not on the latest version...???

    There is no major problem other than I am concerned I am not on the latest version. I have downloaded firefox 6.0 (or whatever is the latest version) but when firefox starts there is a message under the start page which says I am not on the latest version. Is there something I am not doing?

    Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed. <br />
    [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent]
    type '''about:config''' in the URL bar and hit Enter <br />
    ''If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.'' <br />
    Filter = '''general.useragent.''' <br />
    Right-click the preferences that are '''bold''', one line at a time, and select '''''Reset'''''. <br />
    Then restart Firefox

  • I am running ver 9.0.1, but I keep getting the message that I am not running the latest version? Why? and how can I get rid of this message?

    On my firefox start up screen, I get the message that I am not running the latest. It asks that I upgrade now. However, under "about firefox," I am running 9.01, the latest version. I'd like to know why I'm getting this message and how I can get rid of it.
    Thank you.

    Hi jerzyguitar,
    You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. That page is no longer being maintained by Google.
    You should try changing your home page to:
    about:home
    If you don't know how to change the home page, you should take a look at the Knowledge Base article [[How to set the home page]].
    Hopefully this helps

  • HT201364 I have 53.23 GB available but why is it telling me that they could not complete my purchase.

    I have 53.23 GB available but when I try to upgrade to OS X Mavericks why is it telling me that they could not complete my purchase.

    Disk space is only one requirement. However, your description leaves me wondering what the error message says, exactly.
    Here are the requirements:
    iMac (Mid 2007 or newer)
    MacBook (Late 2008 Aluminum, or Early 2009 or newer)
    MacBook Pro (Mid/Late 2007 or newer)
    Xserve (Early 2009)
    MacBook Air (Late 2008 or newer)
    Mac mini (Early 2009 or newer)
    Mac Pro (Early 2008 or newer)
    If you hold down the option key and select System Information from the Apple Menu, the Hardware section will tell you which Mac Model Identifier you have, like Macbook Pro3,1.
    That will help determine if your Mac meets the requirements.

  • I am trying to update my firefox and every time I try it says that I do not have Administration permission to update the software.

    I am the ONLY person with administration privileges. I contacted Apple and they said to contact firefox. Because I cannot update it, it keeps closing every time I try to print something.
    Help please!

    * Download a new copy of the Firefox program: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
    * Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re)install.
    * Install the new version that you have downloaded.
    Your profile data is stored elsewhere in the [http://kb.mozillazine.org/Profile_folder_-_Firefox Firefox Profile Folder], so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data.

  • Why do I keep getting notified that I am not on the latest version of Firefox when I have the latest version installed?

    I have checked the version and found it is the latest. The message appears below the FireFox Start box.

    I am seeing the same thing as you are. Its probably because that earlier Google homepage was used in earlier Firefox versions. So the page thinks that you are still using a previous version of Firefox.
    Change the homepage to the following address:
    * http://www.google.com/webhp?rls=ig
    Check and tell if its working.

  • Unless my Firefox browser is actually up to date (version 8.0.1), on my start page appears the message that I'm not using the latest version of Firefox! Is this a bug or is my homepage hacked?

    I'm using 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 stays the message "U gebruikt niet de nieuwste versie van Firefox. Upgrade vandaag om het beste uit het internet te halen!"
    False: my Firefox is already up-to-date.

    You are indeed up to date. Firefox stopped using that address as its default start page when 4.0 came out - the page you're using may be (wrongly) assuming that if you're looking at it, you must still be on Firefox 3.6.
    If you [[How to set the home page#w_restore-the-default-home-page|restore the default home page]] you should get more up-to-date information.

  • I have upgraded twice but home page still says "your not using the latest version. Upgrade now"

    When I open Firefox and the home page comes up it tells me that i am not using the latest version and should upgrade. I also run into a stop scrip issue when I go to clear the history. It usually takes three tries to clear the history.

    I would have to guess that your home page is pointing to one of the what's new pages from a previous Firefox release. Nothing to be concerned with here. You can change your home page to point wherever you'd like by clicking Preferences/Options->General and changing the home page option.
    For the stop script history issue, do you know what web page is causing the issue?

  • My Home pg. says I'm not using the latest version-- Firefox says I am.

    Mozilla Firefox is my Home pg/browser. It says I'm not using the latest version. But when I go to the Firefox pg to download the latest version, they say I'm updated ok. My computer's list of programs also says I'm using version 9.0. After downloading Mozilla 5 + times, my home pg still says I'm not on the latest version. Is it because the OS is Windows 7 starter?

  • Need help: it keeps saying I'm not installing the latest version.

    I'm kinda a computer noob so I don't really know what I'm doing. I'm the administrator of my computer. Whenever I try to download the latest version of flash at the end of the download it keeps saying that I'm not downloading the latest version (which I am) and it refrains from being installed on my computer. Can someone please help me?

    the exact message I'm getting is
    Adobe Flash Player ActiveX Setup:
    The version of Adobe Flash Player ActiveX that you are trying to instal is not the most current version
    Please visit http://www.adobe.com/go/getflashplayer to obtain the latest most secure version.
    When I first go to download the flash player a thing called adobe download manager pops up, before it starts downloading it says it could not download mcafee sucurity scan, then the download bar for adobe flash player 10 fills up to100% then it says instalation complete, then I click on close download manager.
    Then it takes me to another page and then at the top of the screen text pops up saying "This website want to instal the following add-on: 'adobe Flash Player Installer' "from adobe Systems incorportated" click to install if you trust this site" Then I click to install it. Then a window pops up and says windows needs your permission to continue then I click accept, then another window pops up and it says internet explorer add on instaler and it says "do you want to install the add on Adobe Download manager" then I click yes, then it brings me to the message I wrote at the top of this post: the not the most current version thing.
    I never installed flash player 10.1 beta at any point in time
    I went to the help section of the website but it couldn't help me.
    The web browser I'm using is Internet Explorer.

  • I have updated Firefox to 8.0.1 but the main screen still says " You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" What is the problem?

    I downloaded Firefox Setup 8.0.1.exe from the website to my desktop and opened it as an administrator. The available choice (once opened) was to upgrade. When the process was complete my version of Firefox was identified as 8.0.1 but the main screen still said - "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!"

    This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained.
    Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of '''about:home'''. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

  • I get, You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web! When I go to the update site it tells me that I have the latest version.

    I start the Firefox browser.
    When the start page displays I get just below the Google search box:
    You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!
    Not unusual but when I go to the update site it searches for a minute and then tells me that I have the current version of the software.

    If you use the www.google.com/firefox site as home page that previous Firefox 3 versions use as the home page then you can ignore the message about not using the latest Firefox version on that page.<br />
    Google no longer seems to maintain that page.<br />
    Current Firefox 4+ versions no longer use that Google website as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page.<br />
    Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you that you use an older Firefox version and suggests to update.<br />
    You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle).<br />
