An alert came up when I opened Firefox this morning and told me there was a new version '4'. I tried to download it, but it keeps telling me that Firefox needs to be closed to continue. I have already closed it, so it starts the process over again and still tells me that Firefox needs to be closed, so it won't let me go through the download.

I have this same problem. Anyone found a solution yet?

Ok after doing some research, I came up with a solution. I'm sure the original poster has already figured something out, as it was like three months ago, but I wanted to post this anyway, for someone else that may come across this same problem. I went into my task manager (control, alt, delete) and went into processes. Look for 'firefox.exe' If you see it, end the process. Then try and run the install again. This fixed it for me, hopefully it will help somene else too.
