Hi,

When trying to download addons from Mozilla's website, it says: 

"To install this add-on and thousands more, get Firefox, a free and open web browser from Mozilla."

However, I am using Firefox 3.6.13. This occurs on other websites too, such as I can't use Google Docs because it says I don't have a compatible browser. So in summary, websites don't think I am using Firefox. Thank you for helping :).

However, I ''am'' using Firefox 3.6.13. This occurs on other websites too, such as I can't use Google Docs because it says I don't have a compatible browser. So in summary, websites don't think I am using Firefox. Thank you for helping :).

Yup, something you installed has butchered your UserAgent.
Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 5.1; en-US; rv:1.9.2.13) Gecko/20101203 BRI/1 Firefoxver:2.00158 978908803 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729)

See the Reset your user agent paragraph for how to fix it.
