I downloaded the newest version of firfex although each time I turn on I get asked to download the newest version, it does check and tell me I am OK. Is it normal to have this come up each time?

See http://kb.mozillazine.org/Updates_reported_when_running_newest_version

If files already have been downloaded then you need to remove the files in the updates and updates\0 folder.
You can delete active-update.xml and updates.xml as well if present.

C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\updates 

C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Local\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox\updates
(%LOCALAPPDATA%\Mozilla\Firefox\Mozilla Firefox)

There are other things that need your attention.
