| NOTICE: Firefox users... Mozilla just released security and stability updates to versions of Firefox. Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 and 1.5.0.10 have been released [1]. If you've got Firefox set to check for and install updates automatically, you'll find it won't work properly due to a Vista-related bug. It checks, downloads the update and notifies you to install, but the installation will fail without notice [2]. I know of two ways around this: 1). Close Firefox. Right click on it's shortcut icon and select "run as administrator". When you get Firefox up and running go to the help menu and select "Check for updates". Follow the prompts from there. After Firefox has closed and restarted close it again and re-start as a normal user. 2). Do a full install of the latest version over the previous version [3] [1] [url]http://mozillazine.org/talkback.html?article=20520[/url] [2] [url]https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=352762[/url] [3] [url]http://getfirefox.ccom[/url] I just thought I'd share.... - Scott [url]http://angrykeyboarder.com[/url] A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

| RE: NOTICE: Firefox users... Scott, Double NOTICE for Vista users. Do NOT *ever* install Firefox and Vista will never experience conflicts. The best method for preventing user induced troubles and conflicts while using Windows Vista; keep that in-secure nightly-build crap as Firefox far away from Vista.

If so you are sooooooooooooo wrong! Alias |

Does it tell you it's "2.0.0.2" (assuming you were using 2.0.x previously). Mine still said 2.0.0.1 (till I fixed it, that is). I'd read about this bug before which is why I checked after the update. And as expected, the update failed (but you wouldn't know that - not right away anyway). -- Scott [url]http://angrykeyboarder.com[/url] A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.

What about MSN Messenger - not Firefox, causes problems with Vista. Ooops. Thanks for playing. |
