Hi george-cole,
It sounds like your UserAgent string in Firefox is incorrect. To fix this, all you have to do is:
- Type about:config in the address bar and hit Enter
- Confirm that you know what you are doing and that you will be careful
- In the Filter input field, type general.useragent.
- Right-click the preferences that are bold, one line at a time, and select Reset.
- Restart Firefox
Hopefully this helps!

That text about not running the latest Firefox version is hard-coded on the www.google.com/firefox site that previous Firefox used as the home page and Google doesn't seem to maintain that page anymore.
Current Firefox versions no longer use that Google site as the home page, but use the build-in about:home page as the home page.
So Google assumes that you use an older Firefox version if you still visit that site and warns you about that and suggests to update.
You can use another page as the home page like about:home or www.google.com or www.google.com/ig (iGoogle).
