How can I block the messages asking me to upgrade, other than by switching browsers?

There is yellow bar across the top of my firefox pages that says: "Some plugins used by this page are out of date." A button for "update plugins" leads to another page that states: "Looks like you’re using an older version of Firefox. Your system doesn't meet the requirements to run Firefox."

Do I need to switch to another browser? How else can I avoid dealing with this hundreds of times a day, everyday, forever and ever.

Hello, try to lock the next firefox preferences, unfortunately you have the latest firefox for your 10.5 mac (you already known that 16.0.2 version is unsupported and vulnerable). Good luck.

// disable application updates lockPref("app.update.enabled", false); lockPref("extensions.update.enabled", false); lockPref("extensions.update.autoUpdateDefault", false); lockPref("browser.search.update", false);

If you can use OSX 10.6 or newer then you can use current Firefox versions.
