After restarting it i caught an error something like "there is one more copy in your memory". I restarted my PC (windows 7 64 bit) and get the same message. Firefox didn't want to update.


Expected results:

I have installed my copy of firefox into RAMdrive therefore there was a little space on it. After increasing it's space Firefox successfully updated. I propoose before updating to check is there enough space for it.
