Firefox claims to want to "update" to old version

Today, I had one of my computers inform me that Version 3.6.17 of Firefox was available, so after updating that computer, I went around to my other computers to update them as well - but on this one, when I selected "Check for Updates", the window that opened said that Firefox 3.6.13(!) was ready to be installed. This was doubly odd, because "About Firefox" on this machine reported that 3.6.15 was already installed, so instead, I downloaded and installed 3.6.17 manually, figuring this would clear things up. Unfortunately, it still reports wanting to install 3.6.13 - and if I click on the restart button, it restarts, but still claims to want to install 3.6.13 afterward - despite that it now claims (in the "About" box) to BE 3.6.17! Apparently, some corrupted info got into the installer queue, but how do I go about cleaning it out?
