About 3 days ago, after I did a firefox update, a bar appear below the address bar stating "Downloading the latest applications" It has been there for 3 days, and I have left my internet on, and browser up hoping for it to go away. But it simply has sat there, even after refreshing my browser and uninstalling and reinstatement.

This happened

Every time Firefox opened

The "Downloading the latest applications" problem can be caused by the MSN® Toolbar (Tools > Add-ons > Plugins)
