Get prompting to install FF 8.xxx but after installing get another that it is downloading FF but it goes on and on and on -- how long is the download?
Using FF on Win XP system. Have tried to update w/ FF 8.xxx several times. Downloads and all looks like update occurred. 1-2 minutes later another FF window opens up and says 'Downloading Firefox'. There are moving green bars continuously moving across and it goes on and on and on. Have tried the update many times but w/ same result.

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.
- Firefox 8.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
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 in the profile folder.
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.
Went the real easy way as suggested by Swarnava. Took 5 minutes or so. A really big thanks.
