Update window show "connecting to update server" and will not connect.
Software Update window shows: "Downloading Firefox" and under the blue barber line "Connecting to the Update Server".... this has been going on for several hours and it does not appear to be downloading the update. I have been trying for several weeks with the same problem.

Hello mac_attack, if you have problem with update firefox the better way is to download and install the new version.
1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean install.
3. Install the version that you have downloaded.
Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.

thank you
I have already tried re-installing the newest version, and I still get the "update" alert, and the not-connecting.
At the moment, I just close the window and carry on, but it's a bit annoying.
