Thank you for the positive feedback!
I guess at some time we have to provide a way for users to leave such
messages for funding agencies to read. That might make it easier to
finally get a grant dedicated to developing and maintaining Fiji.

First of all: sorry to hear that it broke! I tried very hard to prevent
such a situation, but unfortunatel my crystal ball malfunctioned ;-)
To fix things quickly on your side, I would like to suggest the following
strategy:
- open the directory containing Fiji in your Finder (typically, you will
have installed Fiji into /Applications/)
- Ctrl+click on the Fiji icon to open the context menu and select "Show
Package Contents"
- in the newly opened window, open the jars/ folder by double-clicking it
- locate the ij.jar file (it will have a version number, i.e. read
something like ij-1.49b.jar) and double-click it.
- in the just opened pure ImageJ 1.x, call File>Import>URL... and open the
URL
http://update.imagej.net/bootstrap.js- after a while, the updater will open and you can install any updates.
If this does not bring you back to a working version (i.e. when no file is
marked for update), you most likely have an update site activated with
slightly inconsistent files (such as TrackMate-dev, totally my fault
because I missed a crucial bug in the script that keeps it up-to-date).
In that case, I would like to suggest to open the "Manage update sites"
dialog in the updater and uncheck the update site for now.
I will hopefully be able to fix the TrackMate-dev update site very soon,
so if it is the culprit, let me know so I can keep you in the loop.
Ciao,
Johannes
