Seriously, in the past few weeks my computer has prompted me to update firefox every day even twice a day, the word out there is you guys are having probs... well at my end the only prob.. is I spend way to much time trying to keep upo with your updates they are apparently necessary to resolve screwups at your end.. I'm switching back to Safari this is getting to be just silly! Good Luck... [email protected]

Yeh Yeh I know you got keep up with the Jones but seriously how can you expect users to update every day??

I'm not sure where your taking this but I tell at this end it's getting to be a full time job just updating your changes so in all honesty I'd rather shift camps just to get some peace and quite!

Best of luck.. looks like you need it!

It's prompting you to update because the version you have installed at the moment is a security risk.

A short while ago, there was a security breach at Comodo which is an SSL certificate provider whereby a number of fraudulent certificates were inadvertently issued. These allow a hacker to impersonate any site including online banking and the Firefox version you're running at the moment will not warn you that the site is a fake. The fraudulent certificates were blacklisted in v3.6.17 and beyond.

The version of Firefox that you used to post your question/comments is Firefox 3.6.11.

Firefox 4 was released 03/26/2011 and has had one security update released April 28, 2011.

Firefox 5 is due to be released very soon.

In addition, at least one of your plugins is seriously out of date and poses a security risk: Shockwave Flash 10.1 r102
