Why do critical vulnerabilities exist after upgrading to Mozilla Firefox 45x (64-bit)?

Kaspersky Internet Security identifies there are multiple vulnerabilities existing in Firefox 45X (64-bit), while the Secunia updater continually insists program requires manually updating...while not accepting the update after I supply language information. In the meantime Firefox says I have the latest update. Can someone tell me what's going on??? I realize there are glitches in a lot of programs, just wondering if anyone else is having this problem?

You posted here with what looks like Firefox 48.0 based upon the UserAgent string that this website picked up. User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 10.0; WOW64; rv:48.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/48.0

Is your question about a different PC or Firefox installation?

There are two different Firefox 45's that have been released. The "normal" 45 "Release" that would update to Firefox 46 and beyond. And the ESR (Extended Support Release) that receives security updates every 6 weeks, but doesn't get any new or changed features, as with the Release version. The ESR would now be at 45.3.0 . https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/45.3.0/releasenotes/ https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/organizations/faq/

If you are using the ESR version, I wonder if Kaspersky and Secunia recognize it as such? Or could it be that you don;t have the latest 45.3.0 ESR version?
