I don't know if Firefox is actually upgrading, or not. I do the upgrade as requested, and have done it several times, but I keep getting the message I need to upgrade, almost every time I go to g-mail for my messages. Could this be phishing?

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is incorrect. Do the following:

  • Type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
  • If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
  • Filter = general.useragent.
  • Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
  • Then restart Firefox
