Firefox repeated updates 38.0.1 - even after updating, within 10 minutes wants to again.

I updated FF 38.0.1 when it was available and popped up on my MB Pro. Now every time I open FF and every 10-15 minutes, it pops up telling me that there is an update to install (38.0.1) How do I get it to stop asking? From what I can tell, the update is successful and completed each time I've allowed it to update.

Now that I look, it seems as though it isn't updating correctly as my 'about' says I am using FF 36.0.1, which would explain why when the restart after installation happens, FF immediately asks to update.

Suggestions on how to get the install to take?
