Why, if I've downloaded and installed Firefox 8.0.1 two different times, do sites (including mozilla's), still say I have 3.5 version?

I updated/installed 8.0.1 a month ago, (had 3.5. 0 or 1 can't remember) and under HELP in the top toolbar, About Firefox, said I have 8.0.1. Today, Sunday 12/18/11 tried updating something (forget what) and it said I have old version and need to update…which I did from Mozilla site, and Mozilla still says I have an older version, and that I need to update to 8.0.1 after once again doing so.
I put "Everytime Firefox is opened" coz it still says I have 8.0.01
I notice below that the 'Troubleshooting Information' copied below says '''Version 8.0.1''' under Application Basics

  • Have an imac with snow leopard and Firefox 3.6.13. On a prompt downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.16. Firefox opening Screen still shows 3.6.13. Have done this twice with the same result. Any help?

    Imac, processor Intel core i3, Mac OS X version 3.6.6.
    On opening Firefox 3.6.13 firefox screen suggests downloading latest version. Have downloaded and installed Firefox 3.6.15 (sorry typing error in previous entry). On opening Firefox, screen still shows 3.6.13 as the operating version although "Get info" shows that updating has been done. Thinking I may have made a mistake I have done this twice with the same result. The screen is still telling me to update.
    Not really a problem using Firefox but I would like to know which version I am using.

    Your user agent in the More system details list shows that you have the Firefox 3.6.15 version
    *Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.6; en-GB; rv:1.9.2.15) Gecko/20110303 Firefox/3.6.15
    Where do you see "3.6.13" ?

  • I need to download and install firefox to my D drive. How do i do this as i'm not given a choice?

    i am out of space on my C drive causing me to run disk cleanup several times a day and then can only gain right at 200MB. I need to download and install a fresh copy to my D drive but i am not given an option on where to download or install to. How do I download and install Firefox to drive D?

    You need both SP1 and SP2 to be able to run Firefox. <br />
    http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/23.0/system-requirements/ <br />
    And getting rid of SP3 probably isn't wise from a security standpoint.
    Have you looked through your "data" to see what '''''can''''' be moved over to the D:/ drive? Also you should consider moving the Windows TEMP files over to the D:/ drive.
    Also, with WinXP it is a good idea having at least 15% of each logical drive "free" so that the Defrag service can be run; TEMP files cause the most fragmentation on the drive.

  • Downloaded and installed firefox on windows XP, firefox wont start

    downloaded and installed firefox on windows XP, click on firefox icon and nothing happens!

    Also to be sure you need at least Windows XP Service Pack 2 if not 3 (XP3) as Firefox since version 13.0 will not work on XP1 or older.

  • Downloaded and installed Firefox Sync, restarted and now can't find it.

    Downloaded and installed Firefox Sync on XP SP-3 computer. Restarted Firefox as instructed. Can't find Firefox Sync. Nothing popped up on restart as instructions stated.
    == This happened ==
    Every time Firefox opened
    == After Firefox Sync downloaded

    After a bit more pecking around on the phone I found it under the personalize, View all HTC widgets screen.
    Thanks though for the quick response and pointing me in the right direction.

  • How do I download and install Firefox 6 instead of the latest version (I'm currently running 3.6.23)?

    I don't want to update to the very latest version of Firefox because I'm using a Learning Management System for my online master's program that doesn't currently ensure compatibility with the latest version of Firefox. It only ensures compatibility up to Firefox 6 right now. How do I download and install Firefox 6 instead of the latest version? I'm currently running Firefox 3.6.23.

    Firefox 6 is no longer supported and the usage of such versions that have known security vulnerabilities is not recommended.
    You can install the portable Firefox 3.6.x version to access websites that do not work with Firefox 5+.

  • I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download

    I downloaded and installed Lion on an external hard drive using my laptop which is running Snow Leopard I have now decided that I want to install Lion on my Laptop, but when I go to the App store and click on my purchases it will not download again

    Thanks Dirk,
                         Tried your suggestion various ways but it had no effect the download button was still greyed out and the install button would not activate will keep trying to find a solution. I dont want to boot from the external hard drive that has Lion on mainly because it is a usb HD and the connection to my wireless modem slows the connection rate and downloading would take about ten hours

    Sign-in to your iTunes Account, you can see which computers are authorised.  If necessary de-authorise all and authorise those again that you need.

  • I am trying to download and install Firefox 4. 0. 1. The download works, but what I am supposed to do to install it? If I shut down and re-boot I am prompted each time to download the same update. Thanks - PM

    Firefox prompts me that I need to download and install an update. This I do, and it downloads, but I don't know how to install it. This might be happening automatically, but when I shut down and re-start, I get the same message about installing the same update. Unless I can resolve this, I will have to return to Internet Explorer... What can I do?

    Do a clean (re)install and delete the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\).
    If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
    Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop and close Firefox.
    *Firefox 10.0.x: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
    Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
    *Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
    Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
    *It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
    *http://kb.mozillazine.org/Uninstalling_Firefox
    Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

  • I download and install Firefox 4, but when I restart my computer, it reverts to v. 3.5 something. How do I make the new version stick?

    Firefox kept trying to update v. 3.5.?.?, usually failing. So, I went to the website, then downloaded and installed v. 4. But, when I restart my computer, it reverts back to the old version, loses bookmarks added while using v. 4, and again tries to update v. 3.5. When I look in the folder which contains Firefox, "properties" says I have v. 4, even though what is appearing is not.

  • Why hace had to download and install version 13.02a about 15 times?

    i have aurora installed on my htc rezound and every day it asks me to download and install update 13.02a

    Hi,
    Thanks for using Aurora! We are rebuilding the Firefox app as you know, so the code is actually changing every day with new improvements for performance and flash, panning and zooming and features.
    So, thanks again for helping us out by testing Aurora on your android phone, you've helped us to make it better by installing and using those builds! Sorry for the frequent updates. The version number doesn't change, but you should see the date associated with the build on the about:aurora page that identifies it.
    Coming up this Friday we will have another big push to Aurora for the beta release, at which point updates should slow back down to weekly for Aurora. We hope to have the new app in beta the first week of May.
    Best Regards,
    Michelle
