Gmail brought t my attention that I am using an old version of firefox. I selected to upgrade and sure enough even firefox told me I was using an old version. I upgraded, but after at least 6 or 7 downloads I an still on an old version.

UserAgent = Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-GB; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090824 Firefox/3.5.3 FBSMTWB

Your UserAgent string in Firefox is messed up by another program that you installed - FBSMTWB.

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.
Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
Then restart Firefox

When that is done, check Help > About Firefox to verify that you have Firefox 9.0.1 installed.

the-edmeister, thanks for posting the fix for this. I tried asking in a Google forum and they just told me to download Chrome. Which seems to be the fix for everything according to Google.

THIS WORKS!!
