this upgrade fails every time with this message.  One or more files could not be updated. Please make sure all other applications are closed and that you have permission to modify files...  This is a personal laptop and no other apps are open.  I have went to mozilla.org and downloaded the update and tried to upgrade that way but nothing appeares to work.....

Reporter,

the version notes indicate that "Software Update will not work if
Firefox is installed to a location on your disk to which you do not have write
access, since Software Update needs to replace or create files in this
location."

I'm resolving this bug as a DUPLICATE of bug 340535.

If you want to install Firefox 2.0.0.7, then download it at
http://www.mozilla.com/
then manually uninstall 2.0.0.6 via Control Panel/Remove or add programs
then install 2.0.0.7
