You have or had an extension installed (NET_mmhpset) that has changed the user agent from Firefox/3.6.x to Firefox/3.0.x.

You can check the general.useragent prefs on the about:config page.

You can open the about:config page via the location bar, just like you open a website.
Filter: general.useragent
If general.useragent prefs are bold (user set) then you can right-click that pref and choose Reset.

See Web sites or add-ons incorrectly report incompatible browser and Find what version of Firefox you are using
