Constant 27.0 beta notifications. More information link goes nowhere and install doesn't happen. Notifications are really annoying!
I am constantly presented with an "update available" message (27.0 beta) but the update never downloads and the link to more information goes to your "Ooops" page. I see to be on the Beta update path. My browser is currently 26.0.

You may have been previously using a Firefox beta release and currently have the last Firefox 26.0 beta version and not the Firefox 26.0 release.
Download the full Firefox 26.0 version and trash the currently installed version to do a clean (re)install of this version.
Download a new copy of the Firefox application and save the disk image file to the desktop
- Firefox 26.0: http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
- 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 Firefox.
I agree that you must be on the Beta channel as Releases like the current 26.0 will not give update prompts for a Beta build.
There have been six Beta builds for 27.0 with 27.0b7 the current (there was no b3) and there is normally ten to twelve Betas for each new release version.
