Trying to run an install to update to Firefox 3.6.16 but Software Update is not making any apparent progress past "Connecting to the update server". Just keeps running... Is this a problem or does the update just take a really long time?
My computer's current version of Firefox is 3.6.13; clicked on Software Update and received an "strong suggestion" to download the newest version 3.6.16. Clicked to update and now "Downloading Update" has been showing "Connecting to the update server..." for 10+ minutes.

- Download a new copy of the Firefox program.

- Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean (re-)install.
- Install the new version that you have downloaded.
