I have already upgraded to version 3.6.13 and whenever I log in there is a message on my home page telling me I need to upgrade to version 3.6. Why is this happening?

Below, your system's educated guess about my current browser says that I have version 3.0.16 but if I click Help/About Mozilla Firefox it says version 3.6.13. Could this have anything to do with why this is happening?
