Your software may be out of date
I get this message, "Your software may be out of date Software Updater analyzes your computer for out of date software and recommends the latest updates to download. Avoid Vulnerabilities Reduce crashes and ensure optimal browsing experience Automatically Updates
Supported Browser: browser Mozilla Firefox

I currently have Firefox 29.0.1 Therefore why should I upgrade from Firefox 29.0.1 to Firefox 25.0.1?

Please take care. Sounds like spam, or possibly malware. Can you work out what application or website is generating that message ?
Although in Firefox ?? 32 the updating process is being tweaked and at the same time an effort is being made to collect some of those that accidentally did remain on older insecure and unsupported versions of Firefox.
I do not see your troubleshooting information but if you are on Fx 29.0.1 I can confirm that is the latest standard Release version.

Firefox can be configured to lie to websites about its current version number. To see what your browser is telling websites, you can use my test page here: https://jeffersonscher.com/res/jstest.php (look at the User Agent string).
If that shows 29.0 or 29.0.1, it definitely sounds like malware. For a list of cleaning tools other Firefox users have found helpful, see: Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware.
