Notice comes for an automatic update: Firefox 4.0.1. When I select Update Firefox, A new window with a stripe across the top comes up. At the bottom "Connecting to update server." however this window never changes and there is no update. The procedures for manual update can not be followed because the windows are not as instructed and no update is forth coming.
