> page repeatedly says I have to upgrade
What page says that?
Firefox 56 had a very minor update, so the latest version is 56.0.2. Websites are only told about the 56.0 part, so they can't accurately tell whether you have the 56.0.2 release. You can check using an internal screen. See: Find what version of Firefox you are using.
One possible culprit for annoying behaviors would be an extension. You can view, disable, and often remove unwanted or unknown extensions on the Add-ons page. Either:
- Ctrl+Shift+a (Mac: Command+Shift+a)
- "3-bar" menu button (or Tools menu) > Add-ons
- type or paste about:addons in the address bar and press Enter/Return
In the left column of the Add-ons page, click Extensions. Then cast a critical eye over the list on the right side. Any system extensions that Firefox installs on its own are hidden from this page, so everything listed here is your choice (and your responsibility) to manage. Anything suspicious, nonessential, or unknown? If in doubt, disable.
Sometimes a link will appear above a disabled extension to restart Firefox before the change takes effect. You can complete your work on the tab and click one of the links as the last step.
Any improvement?
Maybe also check this:
The "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" warning is meant as an accessibility feature so people with disabilities or people who use screen readers do not get confused and isn't meant as a safety protection to stop redirecting.
In Firefox 56+ the "Warn me when web sites try to redirect or reload the page" setting can no longer be found in Options/Preferences.
You can modify this pref on the about:config page to enable or disable this feature
You can check the home page setting.
- Options/Preferences -> General -> Startup: Home page
- https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/how-to-set-the-home-page
Firefox supports multiple home pages separated by '|' (pipe) symbols.
