I get a message saying update Firefox now. I hit the enter and the Firefox update runs, last time I tried I went to another page to keep working and the update was running for over 30 minutes. The about Firefox page shows issue 33

Hello Norrsken, please try to download and install firefox. Do the next steps:

1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html (full installer)

2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean install.

3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
