The latest mozilla firefox update is irritating. It keeps trying to run and saying it can't and then running again. The only to get to the internet is to use Google chrome. I prefer Firefox but you guys make it so I can't use it. How do I stop this update?

I'm stuck with this problem as well, using Win XP sp3

Kill the process (in process manager) to stop the loop. In order skip the update and to keep working with 3.6.9, someone suggested deleting the update contents from:

C:\Documents and Settings\usernamehere\Local Settings\Application Data\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox

This is just to keep working with the old version, and hope the next update will be smoother. Or if you have time, uninstall FF and re-install it from a fresh installer (i recommend xmarks plugin to keep your bookmarks, history and such for a smooth transition)
