I have updated to the latest Firefox multiple times, but every time I open the browser, it say's "Your version of Firefox is no longer protected against online attacks. Get the upgrade - it’s fast and free!" and so I do again, and it still says it
Also, if I go to the Help dropdown, and the About Firefox it says I have the updated version 7.0.1 - but my email also keeps telling me that I need to update Firefox in order to keep using it.....

If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
- Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
- Uninstall your current Firefox version.
- Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
