This even happens on some Firefox help pages! Some plugins also refuse to load, citing an obsolete FF version. Some websites tell me I am using Firefox 1.0.7, which I haven't used for years. The 'about FF' pulldown confirms that I am running FF 9.0.1

Even this page (below) under the 'We've made some educated guesses about your current browser and operating system' thinks I am running FF 1.0.7. Aargh!

It works! I just tried two websites that never allowed me to use FF due to an old browser version, and they now work. Thanks a lot!
