Actually, the problem is that your upgrade partially failed, because the installer didn't notice that Firefox was still running (possibly under another user, if you use fast user switching), so it couldn't replace all the proper files. Just uninstall (which should make sure it's not running, but check Task Manager for firefox.exe processes anyway to be sure) and reinstall, and it should be fine.
