Why do I get an unsupported browser for some websites?
I am trying to fill out a fafsa application. It says this is an unsupported browser and will not let me fill out the form. Says I need the supported version. I'm not sure what this means or what I should do. Are there different versions of firefox that I should look at? I really need to find a way to fill these forms in as soon as possible. When I asked for help from fafsa support they said it is not supported because of security concerns.

The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.
You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed Firefox 5.0.1 for everything else. Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your Firefox 5.0.1 settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin drive.
