Then look at Tools>>Options>>Advanced>>Software Update.

Are the boxes checked for periodic updates? What happens when you click
the Check now button?

I hate to be a nudge, but when I first looked at this post, I had
absolutely no idea what you were talking about.

The problem was the mixed top and bottom posting. I bottom post, and
you top post. Therefore it became very difficult to follow the thread
in the post.

Since I notice most of the people who post in this group bottom post,
the Usenet norm for most groups, my I suggest that we follow that
convention.

Well, at least you do have functional update capability. Since its the
same function, called from two different places in the UI, I'm at a loss
to explain why one works and the other doesn't.

Try starting FF in Safe Mode, which will disable your extensions. If it
works okay in Safe mode, you have a problematic extension.

May well be that extensions that are disabled can't be updated.

Well, next step, in normal mode, disable your extensions one by one, and
see if FF will update.

What extensions do you have installed?

Most of those extensions are ones I don't use, so I can't advise you
specifically. As far as disabling extensions:

Tools>>Extensions

Right click on the extension, and you will see a disable option in the
context menu.
