Hihi!

Forgive me if I’m being utterly stupid and missing something obvious here, but I’m having a slight problem with the Firefox updates.

A couple of days ago I got the notification that critical updates were available, so, as per usual I clicked on the little red arrow at the top of the browser to download and then install the update.  All went well – or so I thought.

As expected it told me that my extensions were disabled, but I noticed that the critical update arrow was still present.  So I clicked it again, thinking that perhaps it might have been updates for my extensions or themes.  Anyway, it checked and said that there were some available, only when the box where they would usually be listed appeared, it was empty.  I tried cancelling, but the update arrow was still there.  So I did it again, this time choosing to download the updates, but it just did that thing were it seems to be downloading indefinitely (this is based on having it apparently downloading for over 3 hours on a 2.2 Mb connection and it still not being completed.)

Anyway, I uninstalled all my extensions and themes, just in case it was a problem with any of those, but still the arrow is there.  So I downloaded and reinstalled the update again and it’s still there.

I don’t suppose it’s really a big issue, but I’d really like to get rid of that arrow as it is…somewhat annoying *grin*  Plus I’m a little concerned that I’ll miss an actual real update as and when the next one is released.

So, any suggestions/advice etc would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Edit: Thanks for all the comments so far! At least it helps a little to know I'm not the only one this is happening to. I'd comment to you all individually but I'd only be repeating myself so I thought I'd thank you all for your comments here instead. :)
