every time I update firefox it will only run updater.exe when I select firefox to run. The only way around this that I have found so far is to do a fresh install of firefox.

I am still having this problem even with version 21.0. I have had to do a full install again and again for every update :-(

Create a new profile as a test to check if your current profile is causing the problems.

Boot the computer in Windows Safe Mode with network support (press F8 on the boot screen) as a test to see if that helps.
