This is Firefox's built-in update check and it's Mozilla trying to get
you to download the newer release. Seeing as this is Linux and the
updates are handled by the package manager, perhaps these checks
should be turned off by default?

It's not the latest product, but it's not out of date - it's still
supported by Mozilla and in fact security update 3.5.15 was just
released.
