I keep getting a notice I need to update Firefox but when I check through the mozilla website, it says I'm up to date.

Recently I upgraded to 5.0 on my IMac (OS X 10.5.8). Shortly after I began to get popups telling me I need a Firefox software update. When I click on "About Firefox" , it tells me updates are available and gives me the link to the website. When I do a check on the website, it tells me I'm up to date. Are these popups some kind of malware? If so, how can I get of them?

Firefox 5.0.1 was released last week for Mac OSX versions of Firefox only. It patches specific things in Firefox that were broken by the recent Apple update for 10.5, 10.6, and for the new OSX Lion.

Actually it was just for 10.5 and 10.7 only as the 10.6 was a typo in release notes.

   Worked around an issue in Mac OS X 10.7 that could cause Firefox to crash
   Worked around an issue caused by Apple's "Java for Mac OS X 10.5 Update 5" where the Java plugin would not be loaded
