inability to update:  "Firefox is being updated by another instance" messsage

the simple installation of TGM addon causes Firefox to be unable to update 
itself (i've checked before and after the installation). Have also tried 
uninstalling every other addon so TGM is definitively the culprit

I have TGM run with Fx 32 nightly, update Fx every day and never seen such an 
failure. (WIN)

so it's the contrast with another tab-related addon? 
Could you please try installing these:

Multiple Tab Handler
Tab Mix Plus
Vertical Tabs

and report the results?

I have no scenario where TGM or another addon could block a Fx Update. If Fx 
runs the updater copy all files to a temp update folder and on next Restart the 
files will be replaced. 

There is only one possibility. The Fx needs to much time for closing and have 
still open files if the update process needs access to them for replace these 
files...But from my point of view, if Fx restarts the window disappeared, HDD 
activity for writing his files and apply the update at Restart all in correct 
order here. And my session needs also some time for closing.

You should check what happens if you not click restart after downloading the 
update but closing the Fx manually and waiting some time if HDD activity is 
finished + start Fx manually again to apply the update.
