I updated Firefox last week to version 9:1. I still get a message telling me that I am not on the latest version, but I can't find a later version than the one I'm on. Can you please tell me how I can get a newer version, or else how to get rid of the message on the home page. Thanks

This - http://www.google.com/firefox - is the old Firefox Start Page used by the Firefox 3.6 and earlier versions of Firefox, I don't think it is being maintained by Google.

Starting with the Firefox 4 version, Firefox is using a "local" Start Page with the address of about:home. It looks similar to the old Start Page, but it isn't exactly the same.

So all you have to do is to set another page as the home page, see also more analytical cor-el reply here for more info.

thank you
