Where are you right-clicking? In Firefox's download list or in Windows Explorer?

If something is holding you back from upgrading Firefox, please let us know so we can suggest solutions or workarounds. Version 13 is not secure; Mozilla discloses security flaws after each new release.

Sometimes Firefox reports the wrong version because that information was saved in a preferences file. If you have a current version, you may need to clear out that incorrect information. See: How to reset the default user agent on Firefox.
