i am doing some work for the DMV updating all the previous versions of firefox to the most recent and i am continuously running into an error trying to update 10.0.2 to the most recent version. When i go to Help-About Firefox, it says that the 10.0.2 version is the latest version and that it is up to date. when i go to the website and download the installer it does the same thing. it'll install firefox but when i load it back up it's still version 10.0.2. Is there something i'm missing or something i'm forgetting to do?

If you go to www.mozilla.org, and download the newest version of Firefox and install it, do you still have issues?

The other thing I can suggest doing is uninstall Firefox first, then install the new version

yes, it downloads the installer, which I use to download firefox again. but when it's done downloading and loads back up its still version 10.0.2. I haven't tried deleting the program yet, i'll try that and update the post.
