| 427941 | 2006-02-07 06:15:00 | Hi, Yesterday Mozilla Firefox downloaded an update (for what, I'm not sure), and it said I have to restart Firefox in order for the update to install. After closing firefox and opening it up again it starts to install it but an error comes up saying it failed. "Make sure all applications are closed and restart Firefox again". I've done this numerous times with no success. What can I do now? Using WinXP home, Mozilla Firefox 1.5 cheers, caffy |

| 427942 | 2006-02-07 06:21:00 | Firefox has just been updated to ver 1.5.0.1 a few days ago however some people are having trouble with the auto update and will need to download the whole of the latest version, about 5 Meg, also some of your extensions will not work, but this is what always happens and generally the developers update to the latest version pretty rapidly. Get it from here: www.mozilla.com |

| 427943 | 2006-02-07 06:56:00 | thanks for that, am downloading the update at the moment, hopefully this one will work! | caffy (2665) | ||
| 427944 | 2006-02-07 07:31:00 | Yes the smaller update for the entire Firefox update has never worked for me, I think it might be my antivirus program or the Analogue X Script Defender program I use. | zqwerty (97) | ||
| 427945 | 2006-02-08 09:06:00 | It worked, cheers for that. Strange the original one didn't work. Wonder if there's a common link between people's computers who have failed to install this update? | caffy (2665) | ||
| 427946 | 2006-02-08 09:44:00 | Well mine worked for a very brief period & now it's not only refusing to open about every second website, but I've also lost a big chunk of my screen at the bottom while trying to fix things. I've been fiddling for ages tonight... Now tiredness & impatience are taking over, so although I began this reply with the intention of describing symptoms, I'm turning the machine off before I make things worse. (The warning signals are here. You know - the ones that whisper: Why don't you just click that button & see what it does? As Scarlett said at Tara - Tomorrow is another day... (Sorry, kids. It was the Civil War & you had to be there) |

| 427947 | 2006-02-08 10:12:00 | (Sorry, kids. It was the Civil War & you had to be there)Who's civil war... the American? I just happen to be reading a fascinating book of a pivotal portion of that war; a novelised account called To Make Men Free. It's given me a great insight into that conflict that I never had before. It's fascinating to learn how so many famous names, eg Robert Lee and Jeb Stuart, rose to their fame. Even Abe Lincoln is portrayed in a different light to the kind of benevolent anti-racist he's often portrayed as. |

| 427948 | 2006-02-08 11:04:00 | Laura, I know the answer to this, one of your extension is no longer compatable and is interfering with the correct operation. I have had this happen to me, here is what I did: Start Firefox in safe mode and see if it is alright, if it is then disable all your extensions then enable them one by one until you have the fault again. A laborious process. Disable the offending extension and wait until you get a message saying that it has been updated to the next version of Firefox. |

Firefox users must be a real patient lot to have to go through this performance everytime the program is updated. I just couldn't be stuffed with all that. :rolleyes: |

| 427950 | 2006-02-08 21:01:00 | Oh, and about Firefox updates, is there any way to update all extensions at once, instead of indivudually updating each one? | mejobloggs (264) | ||
