Firefox 1.0.2 Update

I did a search and didn't see this posted anywhere so here it is.

Firefox 1.0.2 has been released with some security updates.

Hope that helps somone.

-Dan

**edit

I feel special because I posted this exactly 20 minutes before it was posted on Slashdot!

The update can be installed overtop 1.0.1. All your settings should be retained.

Something went wrong when I installed it, i had to delete the folder with all my settings and reinstall to get it working again, took me a while to get it back the way i like it.

Anyone having problems with this? You know the cache problems with FF and these forums? It seems much worse since I've upgraded... Anyone?

Same here- the new Firefox opens but won't connect to the internet

Ok, the problem is Zonealarm- even though it gave a notification that that program had changed- it still wouldn't let Firefox connect- with zonealarm turned off, Firefox works ok

It's best to uninstall the old version, then install the new one. Uninstalling does not remove your preferences and bookmarks, etc.

I thought mine had gone wrong - the bar in the install stayed white all the time rather than progressing, but all was fine.

Hasn't broken any of my extensions either which I am pleased about.

I installed over the top and everything is working, including my extensions. I've had problems with installing over the top before, though. I think 1.0.1 didn't like that too much.

IIRC, 1.0.1 wasn't recommended for over the top install.

Spyder, I noticed the cache problems on my desktop after upgrade last night, haven't noticed them yet on my laptop upgraded today.
