Whilst using Firefox on my home computer I was shown a warning that Firefox should be updated. I clicked on to Next believing that the system would be automatically updated. A "time running bar " appeared saying that it was connecting to the Updating Server".I left this running for 3 hours. a Is that normal ? b was it updating or just connecting to the server. I am a pensioner with little computer knowledge.

See:

Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You may need to delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present. 

C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%USERPROFILE%\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)

If you have problems with updating then easiest is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version. You may need to remove the Firefox program folder to do a clean install of the new version.

  • Uninstall your current Firefox version and remove the Firefox program folder before installing that copy of the Firefox installer.
  • Do not remove personal data if you uninstall the current version.
  • It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
