Start page says I am not running latest update when I am!

more options

Every time I start Firefox there is a message to say I am not running the latest version and to update now. However, if I go to the Help tab to check, I am told that I am up to date. How do I resolve this?

Which "Start 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.
