See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update (Software Update not working properly)

Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\ (updates) C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\ (updates)

"Application Data" in XP/Win2K and "AppData" in Vista/Windows 7 are hidden folders, use %APPDATA% in the File name field. See also http://kb.mozillazine.org/Show_hidden_files_and_folders
