   some time back, i had something similar happen with one of the accounts... i   
   had always had to use the administrator accout to install and update FF... i   
   was never able to do it with any limited user accounts... when the   
   administrator installs the software, it is available for all users...   
      
   later on, i was able to update with my limited user accounts if i knew the   
   administrator password... this works to this day which tells me there was some   
   problem that was fixed...   
      
   in my case, some time back, i had a limited user account that wouldn't update   
   becaue it thought there was already an update in progress... i dug and rooted   
   and removed a few files to no avail... finally, i just used my admin account   
   to uninstall the software... then i went looking to ensure that things were   
   clean and the account directories still existed with their bookmarks, cache,   
   cookies and all the rest... i noted the weird directory names used so that i   
   could fix them after i installed the software again... so the next step was to   
   install which i did... then i simply edited the file that tells FF which   
   directory to use for the account and i was back in business...   
      
   NOTE: all of this was done on vista or w2k... i've never run XP but XP is   
   similar to vista other than some directory locations...
