Hi Roger, Firefox 23 is current, so the message is inaccurate.
Where do you see this message -- some kind of pop-up window?
If you installed something from a questionable source, you may have a rogue extension or worse. Could I suggest:
(1) Run some supplemental security scans. These three tools are highly regarded (and free):
- Malwarebytes Anti-malware : http://www.malwarebytes.org/products/malwarebytes_free
- SUPERAntiSpyware : http://www.superantispyware.com/
- AdwCleaner : http://www.bleepingcomputer.com/download/adwcleaner/ (ignore banner ads for other products)
(2) Disable ALL nonessential or unrecognized add-ons on these two tabs (if in doubt, disable):
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Plugins category
orange Firefox button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons > Extensions category
Exit and restart Firefox to ensure that this takes effect.
Any improvement?
