Why does Firefox 10 installation revert to 3.6?
I have dowloaded ***and installed*** version 10 about 5 times. I check under help, and it is indeed version 10 that is running. After several days, I get a message that I need to restart Windows 7 to complete a previous upgrade. When I do, it complains that I am not up-to-date, and when I look, I am indeed now running 3.6. Download/install again, and the whole thing repeats. I have tried a complete uninstall and reinstall, but the result is the same.

Which security software (firewall, anti-virus) do you have?
It is possible that you have security software that restores files on a reboot or at other occasions.

I have Avira Free. I've been using it, Windows 7 and Firefox on this machine for two years through multiple updates of Firefox. Never had this problem before the update to version 10 came out. I do have Secunia software running too, which occasionally jumps in and tells me when stuff is out-of-date, including Firefox. I just uninstalled Firefox 3.6, and did a total new reinstall, and am for sure running version 10 now. Yet Secunia thinks that I have out-of-date 3.6 which needs updating. So something is being left behind.
OK, never mind Secunia comment - that was the old scan. I just redid it, and Secunia has no problems with FF installation now. So it looks for now that I am OK, but I'll have to wait a few days now and see if 3.6 reappears magically.
