When I start my browser (Firefox 8.0.1) it tells me I have not upgraded, but I have (10) times.

Change your home page?

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.

Thank you!! I know i explained it wrong. I meant that my Firefox start page always says, right under google search, in the middle of the page where firefox puts there little wording. "You are using an older version of firefox, update now". I already have the newest version of firefox but even if i download it again, to 8.0.1, it still says i am using an older version on the start page!!

Thanks again!!
