I get prompted to update to 37.0.1 every day, despite updating already
I'm on OS 10.10.2, and despite routinely updating Firefox, I'm now getting an 'update to 37.0.1' several times a day. I have run the update process several times, but it's obviously not taking - browser version remains 36.0.1.

Now the 37.0.2 update is released, the update process still isn't working - despite downloading, running the update and relaunching, Firefox 36.0.1 remains stubbornly in place.
If there are problems with updating or with the permissions then best is to download the full version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean install of the new version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
- Firefox 37.0.2: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all/
- Trash the current Firefox application (open the Applications folder in the Finder and drag the Firefox application to the Trash) to do a clean (re)install
- Install the new version that you have downloaded

Your personal data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox profile folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks and other personal data when you uninstall and (re)install or update Firefox.
I eventually figured this out myself - but thanks for the hint.
