I have 3.04 date a few days ago so updates have installed.  But for several weeks I've been getting a message 5 or 6 times a week that the update failed to install.  Then Firefox opens and works fine.

The last time it happened was after clicking on a link in an email.  It doesn't happen when I open FF by clicking the program icon. 

Not a big deal but annoying after a while.
