I have the latest version of firefox. I know this because your website says so. But for some reason, my current firefox keeps trying to install a new version by "trying" to install a patch. But it fails every time.

I cant say exactly when this started. A few weeks ago, firefox was behaving erratically (crashing for no reason at every launch due to some video plugin fail) but i uninstalled and reinstalled (a few times) and it was fine after the last one.

It is possible to change your update settings in the meantime. Configuration Options for Updates

However the latest version is 35.0.1.

If files already have been downloaded then remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder. You can also delete the active-update.xml file.

Software Update not working properly:

  • C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
