If I have just upgraded to the current version, why do I get this message on my homepage? "URGENT! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free! "
This message keeps appearing on my google home page no matter which upgrade is installed. this has occured for the last three upgrades. It also affects youtube and hotmail which keep telling me my browser is outdated even though I have just installed the current version. I am running xp pro on an old, slow Netvista.
