Why is my browser detected as old at: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/
https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/plugincheck/ tells me my browser is an older version. But the "about-box" tells me it's already updated. Any ideas what I could do? (besides resetting & losing all addons etc.)

If you are posting form that machine then either it is an old Fx49 or your browser is providing the wrong UAS as the forum software is detecting it as
- User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:49.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/49.0
You do not list your add-ons so maybe you have an extension that is switching that. Or maybe it indicates a malware or adware issue. if you paste your information from the Troubleshooting Information Page in to a reply it may help determine what is happening. That is a long list. If it contains print related information edit that out as it is not relevant.
