Web sites keep directing that my verison of Firefox is not up to date, but I'm using 16.0.1, what is the deal?
I've also tried uninstalling and reinstalling and that has not helped.

There is a support article directly on point: Websites say that Firefox is outdated or incompatible even though it's the latest version. Does that work?

You have a corrupted user agent (Fast Brows Search: FBSMTWB) that identifies you as Firefox/3.5.5
- Mozilla/5.0 (Macintosh; U; Intel Mac OS X 10.5; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 GTB6 FBSMTWB
You need to reset the general.useragent.override pref on the about:config page.
- Open the about:config page via the location bar and do a search for general.useragent via the Search bar at the top of the about:config page.
- Reset all general.useragent prefs that appear bold (user set) via the right-click context menu to their default value.
