I am notified that an update is available for Aurora. I click on "update." It says "connecting to update server." It goes on and on and on. This happens every time an update is available, It never connects. What to do to obtain the Aurora updates?

Try to download the current Aurora version and see if you can update the next day.

I went to the update site and downloaded the 4/30 update. Today, 5/1, received notice of a new update and had the same problem- no connection. I went to the update site and downloaded the update. It sees that this is what I will need to do from now on as it simply will not connect. By the way, I had the same problem with the beta versions of Firefox 4.

If you can't connect then make sure that the firewall isn't blocking the updater program.
