Firefox users--help!

OK guys,

I normally don't have any FF issues/problems come up, but last night something happened that I can't figure out.

FF prompted me to update, which I did, as usual. Then, when I go to run it, it'll say, installing updates, then it'll give me an error message that says that part of the updates failed to install, and I should close any other open programs and try to fix the problem, then restart FF.

Here are the extensions I currently have on FF that were recently updated:
Colorful tabs
ImageShack toolbar (which I never use)

other extensions include:
Footiefox (soccer scores)
StumbleUpon toolbar (just d/led that last nite, haven't tried it out as thought it was causing the prob alem).

I thought if I restarted the comp it would fix the FF issue, but apparently not. Also, frequently my FF will say it can't load a page, something simple like Pelican Parts or myspace or ebay...stupid stuff that shouldn't cause complications.

I also have FF set to remember the pages that were open each time it starts (I only have 1 open page tho)

**EDIT** ok here's what happens exactly when I open FF: it says Software update: The updates are being installed and FF will start in a few moments...

Then: nothing happens.

Then:

Software update failed:
One or more files could not be updated. Please make sure all other applications are closed and that you have permission to modify files, and then restart Firefox to try again.
