I've probably lost a letter or so.

Telling it to upgrade again gave only a web page saying that I already have the latest version.

I see that your home page is set to the old Firefox home page and not about:home

The www.google.com/firefox site was used in Firefox 3 versions.
Current Firefox 4+ versions no longer use that Google website as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page.
Google no longer seems to maintain that page and assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you that you use an older Firefox version and suggests to update.
You can ignore that message if you run the latest Firefox version as reported in the "Help > About" window (Firefox is up to date).
