Unneeded updates

Firefox

Since updating to Firefox 4 I constantly am receiving a message to update. If I click to update it just re-installs Firefox 4. I get this message on the average of about once every day or so. How can I get this to stop recognize that I already have the update?

You have Firefox 4.0 installed now, the Firefox 4.0.1 security update was released on 4/28/2011. If you allow the update to proceed, Mozilla will stop notifying you about the update.

I have tried letting the update proceed. It downloads and installs but it goes through the same process all over again at least a couple of times each week.
