I've downloaded & installed 7.0-but I can't get it to run. My old version always starts.
When I start Gmail, it tells me that I'm using an old version of Firefox. So I downloaded 7.0 and installed it...but I still get the same Gmail message. Apparently, I'm not able to install 7.0???? Can you help me? greg

Something that you have installed has changed your User Agent or is keeping your User Agent from updating with the new install/update of Firefox. I suspect that it is Fast Browser Search which is shown as part of your User Agent. To get rid of Fast Browser Search do the following:
- Close Firefox (Firefox button > Exit OR File > Exit)
- Open the Windows Control Panel and remove/uninstall "Fast Browser search protection" and "Fast Browser Search" (MyWebTatoo)
