Firefox 1.0.4 Available

This is a critical update.

Alias

Thanks, Alias.......now I have a question for you. Do I install it over
1.03 or remove 1.03 and put the new one in?? I ask because it is a complete
Firefox install.....not an update. They don't ever seem to have *small*
updates.

I found the Forum for FF and most said install over the existing
1.03.....but some said delete it.

UPDATE.....I just checked the Forum and while we are wandering off into
whether to make up a Profile.....I think the consensus is to lay 1.04 over
top of 1.03. I do wish they gave more basic instructions!!

FYI,

I uninstalled 1.0.3 first, rebooted and installed 1.0.4 on several =
systems, WinME included, and all of them are 100% OK.

I have done it over the previous version since 1.0.1 with no problems.

OK......thanks. I will see how it goes with laying it on top.....I would
rather not have to reinstall the extensions, etc.

Quick question, if you don't mind:

Check in Add/Remove Programs how many versions of Firefox you see there.

I was getting kinda ticked-off, hearing about this update from everywhere
else but Firefox. When I went to Tools|Options|Advanced|Software
Update|Check Now, then the red update signal came on and Firefox said, yes,
I had a critical update waiting to be installed. At that point I turned it
loose and the download went well. One thing that always confuses me,
however, is the caution that all running programs should be stopped prior to
installation, which occurs when Firefox itself and several others are open.
Fortunately, this update puts an icon on the desktop that remains when
everything is closed.

Did the update "take"? It sure did. Right on top of 1.0.3. No problem
whatsoever. Now running with the latest version.

Hi, Heather,

It shouldn't be a problem to install over the previous version. I've
seen numerous posts in various forums reporting that there were no
issues. I've gotten into the habit of uninstalling and reinstalling
only because this is typically the practice with the Mozilla Suite (the
1.7.8 release was no different in this regard). It's not necessary to
reinstall any extensions or themes if you choose to uninstall. The
uninstall routine leaves them behind.

P.S. I saw your message and will respond later today. I have to run out
to take care of a few things.

I always uninstall first.

It's a known issue with Firefox in some systems. Updating on top may create
multiple entries in Add/Remove Programs.

Anyway, uninstall is quick and easy. Reinstall, ditto.

And nothing is lost.
