    Let's just say the bandwidth of vulnerable IE users is being put to good use.

    It's easy! Uninstall Firefox 1.0. Restart your computer. Install 1.0.1. Restart your computer. Launch Firefox to find that all the extensions you've installed don't work anymore. Install the few that have been updated to work with the new Firefox one at a time restarting Firefox after each. Reimport your bookmarks--you did back them up didn't you?--and open up Options to reset everything manually. Don't forget to restart Firefox after each setting change! Quick and easy! Me personally, I've pencilled in upgrading next week when I've got the day off from work!

    Freshly compiled and Gentoo optimized.

    No wonder it doesn't crash. It's optimized perfectly for his machine!

    That is very simple, just typ:
    apt-get update mozilla-firefox

    you might have to install Debian first.

    On my Wintel laptop was to go to Tools>Options>Advanced>SoftwareUpdate and press the 'Check Now' button. It automatically d/l's the patch and starts the install.

    Hopefully there is a Debian build when I get home so that I can update my MEPIS/Debian box. (Or is that GNU/MEPIS/DEBIAN/Linux?? :-) )

    That's not CTRL, you're hitting ALT.

    And it looks like you're overshooting W and hitting F4.

    Not that there's anything wrong with that.

    I think the parent is looking to update to the CURRENT latest version, not last year's latest version...

    OK - anyone else who wants to help, now that I've got the project to classic SourceForge "pre-Alpha" stage, let me know :).

    Lies. Firefox is open source. It can't possibly have any security problems, or in fact any problems at all. The pop up blocker is perfect in 100% of cases, and anything that you see to the contrary is black magic, for which you'll be burned at the F/OSS stake.
