Why does the advisory for downloading update 28.0 run but never contact the server or download anything for my Mac Firefox 27.0.1?
I'm running OS X 10.9.2 on an iMac with a 2.66 GHz Intel Core 2 Duo processor and 4 GB 1067 MHz DDR3 memory. All previous updates have downloaded and installed flawlessly, but every time it arrives -- and that's been several times so far -- this one has simply shown that blue-and-white striped busy bar, says it's contacting the server, and does nothing, no matter how long I leave it running.

That's weird but you should be able to manually install the update like this:
- Download a fresh copy from here - direct link (https://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-28.0-SSL&os=osx&lang=en-US)
- Install the new version. For details, see How to download and install Firefox on Mac
Usually this fixes this issue with automatic updates. There will be new version available starting next Tuesday. The automatic update will happen sometime over the following week or so.
Let me know how it goes.
Thanks,
Michael
