Are you still experiencing this? If so, please download version 55.0.3 using the link below, uninstalling your current version, and then installing version 55.0.3 that you previously downloaded?
https://archive.mozilla.org/pub/firefox/releases/55.0.3/win64/en-US/Firefox%20Setup%2055.0.3.exe

After installing, launch Firefox, open the about dialog, and try to update.

Note: this will install the 64 bit version of Firefox.
