Update won't update! I keep getting a message that Firefox wants to update. I tell it to and everything seems fine. Firefox reboots. Moments later, I get another popup saying Firefox needs to do an update (the same one!). Repeat... repeat... repeat. What is wrong?

Hello, please download and install firefox, from Diego Victor's above link and then be sure to :

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

and then

2. 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.
