Firefox and Thunderbird keep sending patches that don't work. What's going on?

For time time, both Firefox and Thunderbird keep notifying me of patches. I try to install, and they fail and tell me to install the larger update. I say yes, and it too fails. They tell me to do it manually. I go to the website and it tells me I'm uptodate. This is more annoying that anything else, but seems like a small glitch that could be fixed easily. Could you help?

Thanks.

Seems like you are using the beta of 24.. Are you checking for updates correctly, you can also update from mozilla.org

SEE: Update Firefox to the latest release

You can see in "Help > About" on which update channel you currently are.

You can find the full version of the latest Firefox 23 release in all languages and for all Operating Systems here:

Note that your System Details List shows that you have a user.js file in the profile folder to initialize some prefs on each start of Firefox.

The user.js file is only present if you or other software has created it, so normally it wouldn't be there. You should check its content with a plain text editor if you didn't create this file yourself.

The user.js file is read each time you start Firefox and initializes preferences to the value specified in this file, so preferences set via user.js can only be changed temporarily for the current session.
