After loading Firefox 3.6.10 and restarting the computer, I got the message: you must restart your computer in order to finish an earlier upgrade of Firefox. Do you want to restart now ? I restarted the computer a couple of time. It doesn't work. I get every time the same message. I tried to uninstall Firefox but it doesn't work either.

Try manually resetting the software update feature by deleting the files and folders shown in the "Software Update not working properly" section of this site - http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update

After doing that try to re-install Firefox.
