Firefox Update can't find license.
I try installing the updates, both through the firefox site and automatically, and keep getting the message "Firefox update could not be completed because License could not be verified/found" Or something to that effect.
This happened
Every time Firefox opened

Download a fresh copy of Firefox and do a clean reinstall (see link at bottom of this message):
- Get a fresh copy of Firefox here: http://www.mozilla.com/firefox/all.html
- Uninstall your current version (Control Panel > Add or Remove Programs, click "Mozilla Firefox", click "Remove"). ~~red: IMPORTANT: during the uninstall, be sure that "Remove my Firefox personal data and customizations" is UN-CHECKED, otherwise you will lose your bookmarks, passwords, and other personal data.~~ See how to back-up your personal data/information at the bottom of this message.
- Remove the Firefox program folder before installing the fresh copy of the Firefox installer that you downloaded in 1., above.
Deleting the Firefox program folder is important to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
You can skip the step to create a new profile, that should not be necessary for this issue.

Install/Update Adobe Flash Player for Firefox: your ver. 10.0 r45; current ver. 10.1 r53 (important security update 2010-06-10) See: Updating Flash -use Firefox to download and SAVE to your hard drive (save to Desktop for easy access) -exit Firefox (File > Exit) -check to see that Firefox is completely closed (Ctrl+Alt+Del, choose Task Manager, click Processes tab, if "firefox.exe" is on the list, right-click "firefox.exe" and choose End process, close the Task Manager window) -double-click on the Adobe Flash installer you just downloaded to install/update Adobe Flash -when the Flash installation is complete, start Firefox, and test the Flash installation here: http://kb.adobe.com/selfservice/viewContent.do?externalId=tn_15507&sliceId=1
- NOTE: On Vista and Windows 7 you may need to run the plugin installer as Administrator by starting the installer via the right-click context menu if you do not get an UAC prompt to ask for permission to continue (i.e nothing seems to happen). See this: http://vistasupport.mvps.org/run_as_administrator.htm
- NOTE for IE: Firefox and most other browsers use a Plugin. IE uses an ActiveX version of Flash. To install/update the IE ActiveX Adobe Flash Player, same instructions as above, except use IE to download the ActiveX Flash installer.
