When I click the link Firefox shows a status bar and states that it is connecting to the update server, but the status never changes and nothing seems to be happening.

Sometimes the updater gets in a funny state - Go to http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/new/ and download the full installer. Close Firefox and run the installer
