When I click on Help/About Firefox it shows that I'm up to date and using FF 6.0.2 - but when I try to access Google Plus it states that I'm using FF 3.6 - ??
It happens when playing certain games on Facebook, when I attempt to join Google Plus, and when I attempt to add FF plug-ins.

Since the update to version 11, I have had a serious problem with Firefox completely locking up and crashing when the following occurs:
I have multiple tabs open. I close them one at a time. When I close the SECOND LAST tab the whole thing locks up.
There is no troubleshooting info because 'task manager' is required shut it down.
When I reopen Firefox, it reopen EVERY SINGLE TAB I had previously closed before the crash.

If I open an HTML doc from my local computer, the TITLE tag is displayed in the TAB. If I open the same doc from a website (wildechef.com specifically) the web address is displayed. What am I missing here?

It's like a plugin virus, but it's external... however, firefox is all it seems to affect.

XP Pro, DELL Latitude D520, Duo... 2 gig RAM, and plenty hdd, stock video chipset (naturally -.-)
After much scouring... i have run into a program on my drive called MRT.exe coupled in the same folder with a MRTSTUB.exe (not case sensative)... I never use iexplore, and immediately remove it from my machine shortly after any fresh installation of XP, and download firefox... other than that, the other things i do online are not likely to have allowed this in, and hijackthis seems to refer to it as a BHO... it came in through firefox guys... it records input, manipulates other programs (firefox), has no visible window and no log in the process manager... however, procedes to take up huge portions of page file memory. Naturally while on firefox... it reroutes me every chance it gets to one of those stupid search pages providing "enhanced searchability for the EXACT product,concept,idea,question that i am looking for -.-" just thought you guys might wanna know... mr t. funny guy -.-

This is a continuation of the last post I had up, it is basically a web site redirect virus that seems to pull up a new window at various times, or while I click on several google searches will intermitantly redirect me to a tizag.com website, or other various search falsity websites...
After several hours of work put into trying to find this bug, removing smaller useless bugs from my system, and so on... I still have the bug on the computer... Now I have taken the liberty of running a process analyzer and stopping the analyzer once the bug started affecting my google, and have a dump of all the processes running, firefox related (since it redirects me it must reach into the firefox.exe process somewhere along the line), and would like to share that with you.
I posted it in the troubleshooting section as it won't fit into this section... and i don't have a troubleshooting information option in my help menu anyhow.
If you can help me figure out which process is being performed here that is unusual as far as firefox content goes, I can search through the memory stacks of those processes and trace this bug back to it's origin... helping myself and you guys in the future.

I keep my Firefox up-to-date at all times but the last few weeks Gmail has been telling me that I am using an older version which it no longer supports even though I have the updated version. I was notified that Firefox could be updated to the newest version, which I did. After the update when I opened Firefox it told me that I needed to update to the newest version which I had already done. How can I fix this?
Whyvdo some sites tell me to update to version 4 when I already show that I have 4.01
Certain sites tell me to upgrade to version 4 but I already have it. The two sites that I can think of right now are Yahoo and Chrome Angrybirds.
I get messages that I need to upgrade Firefox but when I do I keep getting the messages, including from Firefox. The "help-troubleshooting" tab says I'm using version 8.0.1 but this isn't recognized by others.

My new laptop (still waiting for delivery) will have Windows 7 home premium 64 bit. I've read on this site that it's okay to use Firefox, even though it's designed for 32 bit, but I'm not sure how to transfer my bookmarks.
I've taken a look at the sync add-on. Unfortunately, this has been removed by its developer.
Does anyone know how I can transfer the bookmarks to the new laptop?
Thanks.

I have downloaded 9.0.1 3 different times. That is all that happens. There is nothing telling me how to install the new version. I have gone to different community forums 7-8 times. No one has the same problem as I do. I have asked FIREFOX for a chat room or a phone number to speak with a tech support person. My request was ignored. There seems to be a problem with FIREFOX not providing enough information to upgrade and then just allowing the user to flounder around trying to work out how to do it. I have tried several times to install . . . but when there is no information directing how to install it seems that FIREFOX does not care if it is upgraded or not. I have 3.6.1 and i am totally happy with it. It works perfectly 99% of the time. Why fix something that is not broken??!!! From what I have seen there are hundreds of people who have installed 9.0.1 and have nothing but trouble of a variety of different types. Given 3-4 minutes on the phone with tech support this entire problem would be solved. But all you do is ignore my request and try to send me somewhere else. If this situation cannot be solved and 9.0.1 installed and working properly I will have no choice but to leave FIREFOX and use INTERNET EXPLORER. I have been a loyal user of FIREFOX for almost 10 years. You decide what you wish me to do.

My Firefox 24 ( installed from Firefox Setup Stub 24.0(2).exe) will not open. I have completely uninstalled and deleted Firefox Setup Stub 24.0(2).exe, re installed Firefox from Firefox Setup 3.5.3 and it works perfectly. (I could use this but I notice that it will not support Fast Video Downloader that I have been using for ages) I have reverted to default settings and only have a Default Profile. As soon as I update to Firefox 24 (downloaded - not my on disc version) Firefox will not start.

I always get the alert: script stopped responding. Besides scripts are carried out slower and slower with Firefox.
After switching off the CHAT in my gmail it works better.
I dont know what FF is doing but IE seems to have less problems with script hanging nowadays. Maybe its just that FF is cluttered up.
I deleted the History, Forms and the cache already. But there seem to be many data that cant be cleared like all those rarely visited URLs that are always recommended in the location bar. That stuff keeps accumulating without any handle to get it out of the system.

Within five minutes of opening gmail, I receive a notice that i need to upgrade as gmail is not supported by the older version of Firefox. It also declares that gmail may not run properly without the upgrade. After five unsuccessful upgrade attempts, I uninstalled Firefox and reinstalled the latest version as it was shown by Mozilla. All looked well for no more than five minutes when the warning reappeared. This is very irritating and worrisome as I need this laptop for my daily business duties. What next?
