Why, if I've downloaded and installed Firefox 8.0.1 two different times, do sites (including mozilla's), still say I have 3.5 version?

I updated/installed 8.0.1 a month ago, (had 3.5. 0 or 1 can't remember) and under HELP in the top toolbar, About Firefox, said I have 8.0.1. Today, Sunday 12/18/11 tried updating something (forget what) and it said I have old version and need to update…which I did from Mozilla site, and Mozilla still says I have an older version, and that I need to update to 8.0.1 after once again doing so. 

  I put "Everytime Firefox is opened" coz it still says I have 8.0.01 

I notice below that the 'Troubleshooting Information' copied below  says   Version    8.0.1 under Application Basics

You have a general.useragent.override pref added by Fast Browser Search (FBSMTWB) that identifies you as Firefox/3.5.3
