Firefox Update hangs at 39.4 of 40.0 Mb
Firefox Update from 56.0.2 to 58.0.2 hangs at 39.4 of 40.0 Mb, never completes. Tried several times including prior and subsequent reboots of both Firefox and Windows 7 Pro. All to no avail.
There are two routes:
- Help > About Firefox > Check for updates.
- Tools > Options > General > Firefox Updates.
Doesn't make a difference either. I would like to update Firefox without the risk of losing my very many Bookmarks and many add-ons.

Note: Windows 8 and Windows 10 have built-in flash players and Adobe will cause a conflict. Install the plugin only. Not the ActiveX.

Thanks, Fred. Problem is solved. But I must be honest: I cannot tell whether it was the removal of Flash or the fact that in the meantime Firefox 59 has been released.
And I have a question regarding your reply: I thought Firefox had banned Flash? If indeed so, why should I re-install it after the Firefox Update?
