I'd recommend all readers (asides from using the programs) to upgrade to these new versions; they have a bunch of new fixes that missed the 0.9 and 0.7 releases.

"Mozilla.org today released upgrades to both Firefox 0.9 (0.9.1) and Thunderbird 0.7 (0.7.1) to fix some minor bugs present in both releases. Both releases correct some flaws in the Extension System that some users may have been experiencing, as well as a new icon set for the navigation toolbar on Windows and Linux in Firefox 0.9.1. All users of both products should get this upgrade. Builds are available for Firefox 0.9.1 and Thunderbird 0.7.1, as well as updated release notes (Fx, Tb) for both."

To solve the update bug :

Another bug that some of the users may be bitten by, is the fact that Firefox
stores update data, so it'll continue to prompt you on startup.. For those of
you who have this problem:

1. Go to about:config
3. filter update.app
2. Right-click and reset each of these back to defaults
update.app.AppDescription, update.app.updateURL, update.app.Version, and
update.app.UpdatesAvailable
3. Restart Firefox.
That should clear Firefox from thinking there's an update. and stop the prompt
from appearing on startup.
