I have downloaded & installed the new version, Help says I have the latest version. BUT the top of the browser screen is the old one. Firefox tells me I'm using an outdated version. Other programs tell me its an outdated versions. newer plugins dont work. The other user on my computer has correct version.

HOW DO I GET IT TO UPDATE WITHOUT LOSING MY PASSWORDS< BOOKMARKS ECT?????????????

Your user agent is "locked" to that older version by that FBSMTWB - Fast Browser Search - thing you have or had installed.

If the other user on the same PC has no problems as you do, the following save and trusted method should work in your case:

Refresh Firefox - reset add-ons and settings

You get the orange Firefox menu button when the menu bar is hidden.

  • Firefox menu button > Options
  • View > Toolbars (press F10 to display the menu bar)
  • Right-click empty toolbar area
