I continue to get the error message above when trying to access secure logins for both my college and fafsa.ed.gov

I included a URL below. I can get to the main page, but get the error message when i try to get to secure login.

Error also states that "We recommend you upgrade to the latest version of your browser according to your Operating System. " I have the 6.0 version.

Supported Mozilla Firefox browsers according to message: Windows XP - Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x Windows Vista - Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x Windows 7 - Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x

How can I fix this so i can access my information online?

The fafsa.gov site does not currently support Firefox newer than version 3.6.x. That is their choice.

You can install Firefox Portable version to use only on that site and use your installed current Firefox version for everything else. Firefox Portable is not produced by Mozilla (but is based on Firefox released versions) and is not supported on this site -- has its own support forum (see below). Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your currently installed Firefox version settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin/jump drive.
