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?

I have upgraded to 6, but home page still says I am not on latest version.
I have upgraded 2 times but home page still says I am not on the latest version.
What do you have set as your homepage? The default Firefox homepage wouldn't have a message like that. Plus, you posted here with Firefox 6.0 - the latest release version.

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?
Hi deeweev,
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 -
When I go to Yahoo mail it tells me I should upgrade to the latest version of Safari. When I go to apple to do the upgrade it says I am using the latest version.
What am I missing here?You can avoid using web based email for Yahoo.
Open Mac Mail. From the menu bar click Mail > Preferences > Accounts > Account Information
Then click + to add your Yahoo account. -
When I click the firefox icon it tells me that I have firefox 8.0.1.Under is written Firefox-is-up-to-date (shadow line) It also mentions that I use the release-update channel.
When i start firefox there is a warning that I do not use the latest versionThis - 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. -
You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!

Suddenly, Java isn't working, yet I am not using the latest version which is said to have flaw
Suddenly Java isn't working. I know there is a security flaw with the latest release, but I don't use the latest release as I am on Snow Leopard. But I need Java so that I can access my computer at work. What is going on? What can I do to get it working?
Java 7 updated for 10.7-10.8
Released Feb 1, 2013, fixes 50+ security flaws
http://www.esecurityplanet.com/patches/oracle-responds-to-java-security-flaws-wi th-50-fixes.html
Download and install

For Java versions 6 and below OS X 10.5-10.6 machines
Apple supplies their own version of Java. For Mac OS X 10.6 and below, use the Software Update feature available under the Apple menu to check that you have the most up-to-date version of Java 6 for your Mac.
https://www.java.com/en/download/faq/java_6.xml
Java SE 6 End of Public Updates
After February 2013, Oracle will no longer post updates of Java SE 6 to its public download sites. We highly recommend downloading and installing Java 7.
If your considering upgrading OS X from 10.6.8 to 10.8 via AppStore to run Java 7
Be forewarned no PowerPC based programs or driver software will run any longer.
Check here BEFORE you upgrade OS X!
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Alternatives if you must run Java 7
If Apple disabled Java 6 in 10.6, and you can't upgrade OS X to 10.8, then your pretty much done with Java in OS X because Oracle won't issue updates for Java 6 anymore.
However you can install Windows 7 and continue to use Java 7+ there until support for Windows 7 ends in 2020.
Windows in BootCamp or Virtual Machine?
If your on 10.6, I very highly recommend the free Virtualbox for the virtual machine software as it gets updates, VMFusion and Parallels have moved on with only 10.7+ -
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 beeing trying to upgrade my old version of Quicktime 7.6.2 to the newer one.
Unfortunatly, at the end of the downloading process, I got an error message: The Older Version of Bonjour can not be removed. Please contact your technical support. I have no idea what is Bonjour??? Except it is French for good morning. I tried to delete the program with the add/remove programs, but I got a new error message who says: Another installation is already in progress, complete that installation before. It is crazy because I can not complete the installation until I delete the Bonjour program. And when I stopped the installation of Quicktime to try to delete or repair the program, I got a message: The feature you are trying to use is on a Network resource who is unavalaible????? I am ready to give up. HELP!!Get more information about your computer. Go to the Apple in the upper left corner of any window, then "About This Mac". Write down what it says about "version"and report that here. Now continue to "More Info..." Copy and paste the information here, but omit the serial number and Hardware UUID (if present).
You have an Intel Mac so you can upgrade to Snow Leopard, but using the information from the Get Information step above check the system requirements first:
Snow Leopard 10.6 Technical Requirements - http://support.apple.com/kb/SP575
You can buy Snow Leopard at:
Snow Leopard disc source - http://store.apple.com/us/product/MC573Z/A/mac-os-x-106-snow-leopard
After installing run the updater to 10.6.8, then upgrade iTunes.

Here's my feedback: Make it easier to make Firefox your default browser. I shouldn't have to use a help menu to figure this out.
@sjpierce - I don't believe that this is a Firefox-specific issue, but it does sound like you have some sort of malware on your machine. What was this innocuous link that you clicked on? A lot of viruses and malware make their rounds on Facebook.
Regardless, what I would do is this ( I assume you're running Windows):
* Download the Free and awesome Microsoft Security Essentials (MSE) via [http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/ http://www.microsoft.com/security_essentials/]
* Next update MSE and do a full system scan to ensure you don't have any existing malware on your machine. If so, clean it off and reboot. Keep doing this until you come up clean.
* Refer to this article on SUMO [[Profiles|Profiles]]
* Delete your old Firefox profile, create a new one and launch Firefox 4 again using the new profile
You should be back to normal at this point.
If you are running an OS like Mac OS X or Linux, it's unlikely that you have malware and you should probably clean your Firefox profile and start over again. -
this is what is under my help tab (about Mozilla Firefox) It seems I have version 2.0 in there some how.

After Firefox has been opened once and then you try and open it again, a message appears stating - Firefox is already running, but is not responding. To open a new window, you must first close the existing Firefox process, or restart your computer. It is then NOT possible to close Firefox, so I restart the computer, but before it will allow that I have to force - End Program - NetscapeDispatchWnd - End Now.
See [[Firefox is already running but is not responding]].

I tried to upgrade to the latest version of Firefox but on the Firefox start page it still says "you are not on the latest version of Firefox, upgrade now". The start page looks different so maybe it did upgrade but why does the reminder still show?
You may see that message below the Google search box on www.google.com/firefox which is the old Firefox default home page. It appears that page is no longer being maintained by Google. You appear to have the latest Firefox version.
'''If you want the Google search page as your home page,''' change your home page to '''''about:home''''' (a new, updated version of the old Google/Firefox home page is now built-in to Firefox).

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.
