Something strange going on there, Mozilla doesn't charge anything or anyone for any of their software, so if you are getting a message about paying for Firefox somebody is trying to scam you.

Now, you mention saving a file, updates don't work like that. Updates are automatically installed. If you are getting a Firefox_6.0.1_setup.exe file, you need to install that file, it isn't done automatically.

Then again, you are so far behind on updates I can only speculate as to what is happening.
