Re: this update of Firefox.

For Windows it has 1. Windows Installer 4.7MB
2. Zipped Archive 6.0MB

Do I download 1 or 2 or both?
What is the difference, apart from being zipped?

God I hate choices ! I read all the posts to learn as much as I can, but there is always something popping up that sends me sideways again.

Regards, Marg.

258548 2004-08-05 11:30:00 I downloaded the 4.7meg windows installer version and installed it straight over the top of ver 0.9.2. No problems so far. zqwerty (97)
258549 2004-08-05 11:47:00 Thanks for replying zquerty.

They say on the site that you have to delete prior versions and save your bookmarks, then import them into the new build.

Is this just them being cautious?

Did your bookmarks, extensions automatically transfer to the new build when you installed it over the older version?

258550 2004-08-05 12:05:00 Yes the 4.7Meg is the one. I just double-clicked and installed over top (just OK to everything). Bookmarks and extensions unchanged. In fact, you shouldn't notice any difference.
After it is all over, just go menu...help-about ...and it should say version 0.9.3.

258551 2004-08-05 12:09:00 Go to http://www.mozilla.org/ and click on the Windows under the heading the latest from firefax, and it will download the installer version. Pheonix (280)
258552 2004-08-05 12:19:00 If you do that and perform a clean instal you will have to re do all your extensions again. zqwerty (97)
258553 2004-08-05 13:23:00 Thanks zquerty and Phoenix.
Will just do a straight install over other one as you have done.
regards Marg.
