Upgrade Firefox again!

Guess what?

Yeah... yet another Firefox security release has been made!

It doesn't appear to be in all languages yet "English (British)" hasn't been made for download yet for example. But looking at my logs there aren't that many people who actually use the English (British) one, even if they are in the UK.

Anyways, you might want to update... you might want to leave it until there's a version where colour is spelt correctly and have the possibilty of nasty people running malicious code on your computer. It's your call!

Quite happy that loads of people seemed to updrade after my last rant on the matter - yeah I know that I'm not really the reason why so many people have upgraded... (that said have you ever done a websearch to find out how to "upgrade firefox"?). So far this month, 7.3% of users have come using 1.0.2, and only 4.6% using 1.0.

I was hoping to find information about HOW TO upgrade firefox, not just a rant about doing it. Thanks for the help.

There's a link to the Firefox page, which holds the download link for upgrading it. What more do you want?

Well I for one want more information about what to do after I have downloaded the upgrade package via the obvious link. Can I just install OVER an old version? Should I uninstall my current version (1.0) first? I HAVE searched for "upgrade firefox" and found no useful info! :(

Well, since I've upgraded from 1.0 to 1.0.1 to 1.0.2 to 1.0.3... I've just installed it over the top.

I've had no problems doing it this way.

ok, I'll do what Ed did and install over the old one. I hope I keep eveything that was in my profile.

First match on google for how to upgrade firefox after the main site and it ends on a cliffhanger two years old? :-o Installing firefox over the old one still works and you don't lose your profile. Be free of cares.
