I had the same problem.  When the geckolib was fixed 
and Firefox updated, I had Firefox running.  This 
interfered with proper update in some way.  I tried 
going to runlevel 3 and then restarting X but it didn't 
fix it.  So I rebooted and everything is now fine.
You might just try logging out as a user before 
rebooting. But it seems to be more fundamental than that.
