Firefox keeps going through the following apparently endless cycle: It realizes it's not on the latest version and auto-updates from 3.6.11 to 3.6.12. Everything is fine for a few uses, then it tells me it needs to reboot to complete an update, upon which its "completion" of the update results in it reverting back to 3.6.11. After a few uses of that version the entire cycle repeats (It again wants to install an update to 3.6.12)... and so it continues
