Why is Firefox consistently requesting to update?

Everyday for the past couple weeks, Firefox has requested to update to it's latest version. Further, after completing the update, one minute later it requests to update again. How can I remove this? While I understand developers clearing bug fixes, I highly doubt an update needs to be this frequent which leads me to believe it's happening in error.

Thanks,

Hello dducre, please try to download and install firefox, do the next steps:

1. Download a copy of the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html

2. Trash the current Firefox application to do a clean install.

3. Install the version that you have downloaded.

Do not select to remove your personal data, your profile data is stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder, so you won't lose your bookmarks or other personal data.
