When I attempt to open my Comcast home page in Ubuntu Firefox, it keeps defaulting to a page asking to update Firefox! Nothing I do in preferences seems to work. What's the fix? Thanks...Karl

I get same message as yours.
I think is a wrong comcast browser detection method...
Please send them a mail to adrress this.

Then to solve this comcast browser error detection install the User Agent Switcher
https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/59

And change your Browser User Agent to a different one...

Hope this helps
