Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when Help-About Firefox says I do?

There are/were three problems: 1. Why, when I open Firefox 9.01 do I get a message that I do not have the latest version when Help>About Firefox says I do? 2. Also, with the 8.xx version, I was unable to open in a new window with a right click until I upgraded to 9.01. (Old problem now, but I am curious.) 3. When I tried to uninstall the older version the uninstaller told me that I had to close the open version, but it was closed according to my taskbar. I also have this problem with Thunderbird.

1. You are using the latest version which is Firefox 9.0.1

From your description it sounds as if you may still have the old http://www.google.com/firefox Firefox start page hosted by Google as your homepage. This old default homepage is no longer used as about:home has been in use since Firefox 4.0

Either ignore the message, change homepage to about:home, change it to another page or leave blank.
