I must have paused downloading 3.6.4 at some point and now when I try to upgrade, the 3.6.9 file downloads but then nothing else happens. When I click on "help", "resume downloading Firefox 3.6.4" appears and when I click on it, it just says connecting to the update server" and hangs there. I would hate to have to uninstall Firefox and lose all my bookmarks but is that the only solution?
