I run firefox nightly, which pops up an update available dialog in
firefox. Sometimes this happens for me even after I've just done the
update and restarted nightly. Usually I have to restart X to clear this
up.  It might be the same for you. I think this is because a library was
updated but wasn't reloaded.  Try running ldconfig as root to reload
any libraries. If that fails, try logging out of your desktop and
restarting it.  Warning, this might just be superstition on my part.
