I normally update FF when prompted, and did so when v3.6.6 was released. Howvere, the dialog box appeared to function properly until it said 'download paused', and now won't go away or let me start again. How do I cancel this download to try again?

This happened

Just once or twice

== I was downloading a routine update

Same problem here.

Says "paused downloading firefox 3.6.7" Yes i know 3.6.8 is out now:( "connecting to the update server..."

and its stuck, i can hit hide and go back to bring it back with resume, no effect on actual update progress, which is at "connecting to the update server..." only.

But upon starting firefox again i was able to use the firefox updater to get to 3.6.8... no longer hung donwloading 3.6.7...go figure.
