If you're upgrading, make sure all instances of Firefox are closed.

It goes into "Housekeeping" and then it gives me the message

Are you upgrading a previous Firefox installation or have you never had it installed before?

We understand...but what is Housekeeping ? ?
Is this a feature of your specific machine ? ?

Housekeeping is an integral part of the FireFox installation process.
