    Seamonkey, the new version of the old mozilla suite (Netscape-like) has also been updated. The release notes: http://www.mozilla.org/projects/seamonkey/releases /seamonkey1.0.2/.

    In that case, you were updating a version lower than 1.5.0.3. If there is no incremental patch, the updater reverts to downloading and executing the full installer. I just updated 1.5.0.3, and the file it downloaded was quite small. Incidentally, Mozilla Thunderbird has also been updated to 1.5.0.4.

    This is known and actually a feature, which can be turned off:

    My FF 1.5.0.3 downloaded a mere 600k, and Thunderbird's update to 1.5.0.4 was roughtly the same size (~500k).

    Your FF probably failed a hash check or something and downloaded everything to reinstall from scratch, that's the fallback when the updater doesn't manager to install incremental updates.
