having a slight problem with firefox?

Question

i got sick of internet explorer so i read up a bit and downloaded firefox. i like it for the most part, i wasn't impressed with the ad block feature. i didn't realize it would make my web page look like a text document. but the thing is sometimes when i start my firefox up it tells me there are updates so i continue and then it stops real quick and brings up a message saying "The update could not be installed. Please make sure there are no other copies of Firefox running on your computer, and then restart Firefox to try again." there is no other copies and i did redownload the program and it still gives me the message. it's not effecting my internet experience but i was hoping someone could help. thanks

Close Firefox and open your Task Manager (Ctrl-Alt-Del) Processes tab and make sure there is no instance of Firefox there...if there is, click on it to highlight it and hit the End Process button and try restarting Firefox again and go to Tools>Add-ons>Find Updates and see if that works.

give up on firefox it has too many problems in the latest editions try orca, k-meleon or flock all mozilla browsers like firefox but faster and without the problems, firefox help and mozillazine both deny there are any problems but there are hundreds of reported problems with firefox all over the internet. check your task manager firefox sometimes opens multiple times and freezes the computer without opening any windows something mozillazine "experts" say is impossible

That's pretty weird.  I would try a re-install.  The Ad-block feature is great, you just have to tell it what to block and it does...

Enjoy FF it's a great browser
