When I open firefox, the update message appears in the top right of my screen. When I open it, download, and restart firefox, it pops up again, then I repeat my steps, but still nothing. This has been going on for over a month it seems, and nothing has worked so far. 

I even uninstalled and re-installed firefox, but it keeps doing this.

Any suggestions?

Hello adamrc, please download and install the new firefox version, follow the next steps:

1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full dmg package)

2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean install.

3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
