Your useragent was modified and been stuck since when you were using 3.6.16 (3.6.28 was last) as Firefox 4.0 and newer Firefox usersagents could not be modified this way since.

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows; U; Windows NT 6.0; en-US; rv:1.9.2.16) Gecko/20110319 Firefox/3.6.16 ( .NET CLR 3.5.30729; .NET4.0C) FBSMTWB https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/websites-say-firefox-outdated-or-incompatible
