First message box: 'It is strongly recommended that you apply this update as soon as possible'...Next (click on next)

Next message box: 'Downloading Firefox' ...'Connecting to update server' Moving green dotted line shows connection in progress but nothing happens so I close the box when I shut down the computer - sometimes hours later.

Best bet is to go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer to your desktop. Close Firefox. Run the installer and re-open Firefox. If the update fails next time, open a new question or post back here.
