The pop-up suggesting I download the Firefox 8.0.1 comes up every so often and encourages me to do so for security and stability. Each time I click on the download, a box appears with a circling icon, indicating that the download is happening. Sometimes it is still circling the next day and still no closure to the download. Generally, how long should it take?

  Any suggestions?
