It might be as simple as following these instructions: Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser
- type about:config in the address bar, like typing a site address, and press Enter
- ignore the warning and continue
- in Filter type general.useragent
- any of those preferences in the lower part of the display that are in bold (user set), right-click on them and choose Reset

According to your system specs, you have version 2.0 installed, not Firefox 5.0
Please do the following to upgrade.
- Go to Download Firefox 5.0.1 and download the installation file to your desktop.
- Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
- Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
As a precaution, make a backup of your Bookmarks as follows:
- Hit CTRL+SHIFT+B to open the Bookmarks Manager.
- Click the link to Import and Backup and then click Export HTML and save the file somewhere.

Xircal and Safebrowser, thanks so much for your input. I tried Safebrowser's way first since it looked easier, and it did solve the problem. Thanks again.
