Thinks Version is Not Latest?

more options

I would like to give feedback about the crappy performance of the latest versions of FireFox: v6 and v7 specifically. The thing WON'T completely load webpages. Ever. Its so bad I've actually bailed and set Chrome as my default browser.

So I go "Help" and "Submit Feedback" and the resultant page tells me I'm running an old version. And it tells me this immediately after doing a complete uninstall, reboot and reinstall OF THE LATEST VERSION!

And I've tried Safe Mode and everything disabled, etc, etc.

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_Agent

type about:config in the URL bar and hit Enter
If you see the warning, you can confirm that you want to access that page.
Filter = general.useragent.extra.firefox
Right-click that preference and select Reset
Then restart Firefox
