Firfox wants to update every day, but it doesn't work

Every day when I sit down at my computer, a box pops up that says I need to update firefox. I have tried clicking "update," and it just thinks, for hours, and never actually does anything. I have checked my settings, and supposedly I have it set to run updates automatically, but when I click to see the update history there is nothing there. How do I get this to stop?

Please go to www.getfirefox.com, and download a new version of Firefox. After downloading it, close Firefox, and install the new version you downloaded. It will replace the old version of Firefox but save all your data.

You also could check this article for reference (ignore the link about upgrading, since that is the thing that isn't working): How to download and install Firefox on Mac.
