This keeps happening. I start firefox, it says ‘partial update cannot be completed’ it downloads the complete update, it restarts firefox, then I get a message to download firefox 3.03, it stays on “Connecting to the update server” forever.

Every day.  
Anyone else having this issue? Or had it and solved it?

Actually forget it. I decided to use my brain and just bypass the update system alltogether.

Downloaded the executable for 3.0.3 and install it.
