WHEN I TRY TO OPEN NETFLIX, THE FIREFOX WINDOW OPENS INSTEAD AND SAYS I HAVE OLDER VERSION OF FIREFOX AND NEED TO UPDATE. THE FIREFOX THING JUST KEEPS SPINNING AROUND AND WON'T LET ME DO ANYTHING ELSE. WHY IS A BRAND NEW DOWNLOAD NOW AN "OLDER VERSION". WHY WASN'T CURRENT AND UP-TO-DATE VERSION INSTALLED?
