See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update#AUS_Update_XML_File_Malformed_200 (Software Update not working properly) and AUS Update XML File Malformed 200

After closing Firefox, Remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder:

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates\ (or possibly C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox\updates\)

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
