Why do I keep being told to upgrade on my start page even though I upgrade and am now on 9.0.1

I turn on my laptop and my Mozilla start page comes up. It tells me I am not on the latest version of Firefox so I download and run the latest version. I finish whatever I am doing and shutdown. When I restart also always it tells me the same thing - even on the same day. I check my downloads and that tells me that I have the latest version. I don't understand and find it a little bit frustrating.

    Your help would be appreciated.

Change your homepage. See How to set the homepage

This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.

Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of about:home. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.
