the http://www.fafsa.ed.gov/ says I have an incompatible browser, I have the current version. They want 3.5 or 3.6, what is the current version?
Here is the msg I get when I try to use their site - Supported Mozilla Firefox browsers: 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 Macintosh Operating System 10.5 - Mozilla Firefox 3.5.x and 3.6.x Macintosh Operating System 10.4 - Mozilla Firefox 3.6

Current version is Firefox 5.0.1, which you have installed.
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 Firefox 5.0.1 for everything else. Firefox Portable installs in a separate folder on your hard drive so that it does not interfere with your Firefox 5.0.1 settings or personal information (bookmarks, passwords, etc.). You can also install Firefox Portable on a USB/thumb/pin drive.
