I've downloaded the latest version of Firefox a number of times, yet when I install it websites keep insisting that I have the older version.

Websites such as the Firefox/Google search page and DeviantArt keep insisting I have the old version; I don't!

Chosen solution

Your user agent is corrupted by Fast Browser Search (FBSMTWB) and that identifies you as Firefox/3.5.5

see your user agent:

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.1.5) Gecko/20091102 Firefox/3.5.5 FBSMTWB

you must reset user agent
