Both YouTube and newer Add-ons for firefox say that I am running an outdated version, specifically version 2.0.0.9. However, when I check for updates in the browser firefox says that I am running the current version. I have uninstalled and reinstalled version 3.6.6 from the Mozilla website multiple times to the same result.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

== Several weeks ago

Your User agent is wrong

1. In the Firefox Location Bar, Where you enter the address of web pages, enter about:config

2. A "This might void your warranty" warning may appear. Click "I'll be careful, I promise!"

3. In the Filter text box, enter general.usergent

4. For each of those general.useragent preferences, right click them and choose reset.

You should be okay now.
