I'm running XP Pro version 2002 with SP 2. My system properties show I have a Pentium (R) 4 CPU 2.8 GHZ with 1 GB RAM.

The installation of Firefox 3.6.12 seems to go well with no warnings or errors shown. At the end I select the "launch Firefox now" option and when it comes up, the Mozilla Tab says "you're almost there" and the page says Thanks for using Firefox, but this version is out of date. Please download the newest version now" and then it wants me to download 3.6.12. When I ask it to check for updates, it says there are none.

If Firefox is working correctly, how can I get it to NOT load to that page?
