Since trying to upgrade, when I open up the browser and/or siteses I get the "not responding" message more and more frequently. Is this "hanging" or "crashing" - apologies, I'm not that advanced. Uninstalling and trying to upgrade again makes no difference. Most days now I have to close up the browser, I then get an error reporting message (windows) which takes me through to windows site where I am advised to "upgrade to the latest version of Firefox". This is happening more and more frequently.

Chosen solution

If you see the message in here: www.google.com/firefox

you are updated see your user agent :

Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 5.1; rv:9.0.1) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/9.0.1

all you have to do is to set another page as the home page, as cor-el said with very detailed explanation in here

copied from cor-el reply:

"That text about not running the latest Firefox version is hardcoded on the www.google.com/firefox site that previous Firefox used as the home page and Google doesn't seem to maintain that page anymore. Current Firefox versions no longer use that Google site as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page. So Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you about that and suggests to update. You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle)."
