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.

Each time I start Firefox it says: "URGENT! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it's fast and free!" I am using ver. 3.6.13 and upgrading "successfully" only stays on 3.6.13 with same URGENT message.

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up and needs to be reset.

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.

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

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The Firefox 3.5.x branch has reached end-of-life and is no longer maintained. 
You will no longer receive security updates. 
You can update Firefox via "Help > Check for Updates" or download and install the latest Firefox 3.6.x or 4.0.x version.

Received message that i need to update my version of firefox as no longer protected against online attacks. last time updated firefox had difficulties getting back to my settings, etc. do you have a phone center?

speak to live person ... about to update my firefox and if I have problems '

No there isn't phone support.

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?

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.

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

Hello,

They won't let me upgrade firefox.

Firefox 3.6.17 is compatible with Mac OSX 10.4 and PowerPC architecture; later versions of Firefox don't support either.

Thanks! Actually, by trying another wifi site we have here at home, I was able to give it another try. For us though, it seems we have an internet problem unrelated to the ipad. We'll have to figure that out.

Firefox 3 says I no longer have protection against online attacks

firefox 3.6.13 says I no longer have protection against online attacks. Version 4 will not run because I don't have "enough previledges for some itms.'''

I have an old iPod Classic with 80 GB (I think) of space. I saved all my songs in an external hard drive, but the iTunes library resided in an old computer (no longer working). Can I get the libray from my iPod and use it in my new computer (Windows)?

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of somgs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried downloading / updating but no joy?

IT tunes music - some, a lot, of songs stop playing half way through. the files are all ok and complete? ive tried re - downloading / updating but no joy? can anyone help its most annoying

Yes, in theory re-converting would lessen the quality further. However, I have heard people claim (unsubstantiated) that if you are encoding with the same encoder at the same bit rate, then since it will use the same algorthymn, it won't really change the file. I have absolutely no idea if that is true or not.
But... I figure some slight loss in quality re-encoding is still better quality than a song that only plays half way and then stops, right? I suppose you could always tag those files in the comment section with something like "Re-Encoded" and then later if you gain access to your old CDs, you can then make a Smart Playlist to gather those songs and then re-rip them again from your CDs.
Cheers,

FF keeps defaulting to the wrong HTTP proxy server and port. I have to change it every time I attempt to open Firefox? How do I change it for good?

The manual proxy settings keep defaulting to the wrong HTTP and port. This has caused me many hours of anguish. It works fine when I correct the settings but after you log off and then come back it has to be changed again. Is there anyway to fix it? Or can I go back to the previous version because 4 definitely has some issues (other than this one). I could live with it if I had to but I'm not the only one who uses this computer and they don't know how to make the changes. Thanks and I would definitely appreciate an answer.
