Recently each time I opened Firefox I would get a message that it was out of date and I needed to update it. I did so several times but I continued to get the same message. The last time I updated it I get a message that basically said: congratulations, you are now using the latest version of Firefox. but the opening page continues to tell me that I need to update it.

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. It says "You're not on the latest version of Firefox" for every version of Firefox.

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.
