In the last day or so, some websites tell me that I am using an "unsupported browser". How do I fix this??

Your UserAgent string in Firefox was messed up by an addon that you installed. -> http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent

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
