I keep getting a pop up window saying 'It is strongly recommended that you apply this update as soon as possible. what is this? My automatic updates still work regards gerald
When I press the 'view more information about this update' link nothing happens. When I press the 'next' button it says it is contacting the server and 'downloading Firefox' for a long time (with no visible progress). It does not look very Firefox. What is this?

There is a security update Firefox 10.0.2 available.
If there are problems with updating then best is to download the full version and uninstall the currently installed version and delete the Firefox program folder to remove any leftover files.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.

Uninstall your current Firefox version, if possible.
- Do NOT remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data because all profile folders will be removed.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
- It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.

Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.
