Now this *is* one I think it's worthwhile being notified of. So cheers for
that! I have installed it - and verified that an age-old issue still
pertains, that of regularly losing the cookie-handling preference. My
preference is to 'Ask every time', but it always goes back to 'Until I close
Firefox' - thus, of course, deleting the cookies one actually wants unless
the site is added to exceptions. It has done this for the entire life of FF
2.x. Putting it right requires editing the user.js and prefs.js in the
profile folder - so that both cookie values are '1'. That's lifetimepolicy
and cookiebehaviour. I'm trying, lately, making them read-only. It seems to
work but I don't know if it will indefinately. Possibly it will if you've
configured it the way you want and never will change it?
I've not seen any eveidence that anyone else has experienced or noticed
this - but I long stopped thinking that must mean I'm mistaken!

I did that before I posted the above. Just did it again. NO new
updates. How come you get it?? Ahhh, "A" for Alias.....or perhaps they
figure they will test it on Espana.....LOL
I will let you know the time difference when it flies up on the screen.

Maybe they're releasing it one or two countries at a time to make sure
their servers don't get clogged.

Here it says there are no updates using 'Help/Check for updates'. But if you
go to the home page and down load the Windows version, it's 2.0.0.5.

Flew up in my face around noon my time (6 pm your time).
Did you remove the old one and replace it with this one? I usually do.
Don't trust laying one over top of the other.

Figgs,
http://download.mozilla.org/?product=firefox-2.0.0.5&os=win&lang=en-US
Seems one of those organisations that release updates on the web before via
the updater.

Thanks.....I just installed it and it wasn't big at all. Just some
minor fixes I guess.
I will keep this in mind for the next one.

No, I just clicked on Install Now (or whatever it said) and it updated
fine on three computers.

Thanks for the 'BOT' and the 'FF', Heather and Alias.
The FF is installed, but I only use it 'just in case' and for the 'Blaster'.
Must one uninstall the old, before installing the latest version?
I know its 'old hat', but need the reminder. <H>.

I do uninstall it fairly often.....depends really on what the update
consists of. In this case, there was no option to download it unopened.
So I just installed it and it was rather small.
FF is my main browser, and my man Willy went and put IE7 on here which I
detest, but I rarely use it. I suppose I will get used to it. But it
doesn't matter.
You do NOT need to uninstall SpywareBlaster, but can do so if you wish.

Hi, Heather,
There were a number of security fixes in this update:
MFSA 2007-25 XPCNativeWrapper pollution
MFSA 2007-24 Unauthorized access to wyciwyg:// documents
MFSA 2007-23 Remote code execution by launching Firefox from Internet
Explorer
MFSA 2007-22 File type confusion due to %00 in name
MFSA 2007-21 Privilege escalation using an event handler attached to an
element not in the document
MFSA 2007-20 Frame spoofing while window is loading
MFSA 2007-19 XSS using addEventListener and setTimeout
MFSA 2007-18 Crashes with evidence of memory corruption
I've been updating through the Software Update in FF since 2.0.0.0 with
no problems. It keeps the update downloads small (this one was only 664
KB), and it's a lot easier than reinstalling the complete application.
Cheers,
Tom

No. Absolutely no need for that at all, Harry. And I speak as one who has
three disks with 5 bootable systems all running it. I don't uninstall the
old FF in any of them (another 2 virtual disks running it too! But that's
probably about to increase. I am beginning to get a little lost though!).
btw I expect I'll be selling an Upgrade version of XP Home soon. About £25 I
was thinking - being about what it's probably going to cost me to retrieve
it. Doesn't need to be installed as an upgrade of course - which is why I
bought it in the first place!

Thanks Shane and Heather (hope you don't mind this collective reply).
Was not referring to the 'blaster', it takes care of itself.
Just wish I was living in your neighborhood, Shane, that XP offer sounds
awfully good. You shouldn't have any trouble finding a buyer.
Cheers,
Harry.

As would I if not for wanting to update it on umpteen different systems
(especially given that I was back on dial-up for a while there and a couple
of builds back the updater pulled the whole thing down anyway! - so, rather
than download it at a crawl, several times over...however, I had reverted to
using the updater until then).
That is interesting, to see that list, Tom. I don't usually look at it, I
just assume the update *is* a security fix and get it the moment its out.
It'll be a sad day when they're entirely cosmetic!

I wouldn't be at all happy if he did that without consulting you, Figgs.
What, does he think it's *his* computer?
Get used to it? I grew to hate it - but then found Pro's Group Policy allows
a few adjustments that I never found elsewhere, that enable me to make it
look a *little* more like I want my browser to look, peform a little more
like I want one to perform. But after a few weeks - it is small potatoes. I
thought for a moment there I might place it on level footing with Firefox,
but it's still not in the same league. There are one or two things Internet
Explorer does better - like the way it gives saved pages a friendly name as
opposed to the meaningless cipher FF gives them, but that's hardly a basis
on which to choose!
I have all three now. I also had Opera but can't get on with that one at
all - it ranks with Avast! for me cosmetically and I think its performance
is similarly reminiscent. And I have a copy of Firebird - which I wish they
hadn't renamed - it was about the only nice unit BSA!
But basically I run Firefox, IE6 and IE7. And that's the order I rank them
in (again!). Who knows what IE6sp2/IE7 would be like without the stupid
security warnig barrage! What M$ are doing since XP SP2, is turning the
whole of Windows into the OS for the AOL-grade schoolers. I guess that's why
they've persisted with the CDO! I dunno, its almost the OS you'd get if you
listened to the Mental Minority (I guess they're still around, seeing as how
their man and pal of Uncle Charlie's still in the White House).
Unless Willy is really trying to wrest control of your machine from you,
Figgs, you can uninstall IE7 and automatically go back to 6. As with all M$
installations in the IE7 ballpark, you get warned that every prog you've
installed since *might not work*! but I've never known that happen, and even
if it did in all likelihood all you'd have to do is run the setup again. Or
sue Willy. Jeez. Not like you to take that kind of noive, Figgs! I'd tread
on his knackers.

LOL!! Willy is 6' 4 and gruff and from the Congo.....you think this 5'
3" sweet-talkin' little old white lady is going to argue with him??
Well, yes I do. I boss him around something fierce usually. He told me
he put it on and thought I was having a brain-f**t and has forgotten to
put it on. I gave him HELL!! He really is a good guy, honest.
Any tricks to taking it off?? I told PA Bear and he gave me some links,
one of which was Sandi's, and it seemed to be more bother than leaving
it alone.

It has been popping up on my screen for nearly two weeks, but I keep
refusing it by clicking 'later'.
I do this because it states it will not support my Star Downloader, and it
took me forever to find this downloadmanager that is free.......... and
works like a charm too.
Seems like a communication breakdown twixt Mozilla and Star programers
just wish they would see the big picture.
In this case, it seems that Mozilla is the guilty party, especially as they
have
pointed out via their update that Star wont work........ in other words,
they
could have easily worked it into the new version due to prior knowledge.
just two bobs.
