Fire Fox keeps telling me I need to update my browser, newer browser is not compatible with my banking system. I updated and could not access my bank account, so I went back to previous version but I keep getting notice to update it is very annoying, how do I stop this.

You should always use the latest Firefox version for your daily browsing to have the best protection.
If you really need to use an older Firefox version for specific websites then either install this older version alongside of the current Firefox release by doing a custom install and creating a new profile and desktop shortcut or by using a portable Firefox version.

You can install a portable (ESR) Firefox version to access websites that do not work with the current Firefox release.
The portable version comes with its own profile folder and doesn't interfere with the currently installed release version.
I agree with cor-el that you use the current Firefox 24.0 to be up to date security wise and to use the Portable Firefox 17.0.9esr for the one bank site that needs to get updated/fixed.
