I received the message " URGENT! Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free! "; I downloaded aulauncher from the website and installed the upgrade, but I cannot get rid of the warning each time I start Firefox (version 3.5.15). I have repeated the install multiple times

This can happen if you have an incorrect user agent string (identifies the version of Firefox). Some add-ons modify the user agent string causing it to show an old version of Firefox even if you have the latest version installed.

In your case your user agent string has been locked by an add-on and is identifying itself as Firefox 3.0.8

You need to reset the user agent string so that it will correctly identify the version of Firefox that you have installed, for details of how to do that see https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Websites+or+add-ons+incorrectly+report+incompatible+browser
