Can Someone Help Me Get Fresh Firefox Please?
HEllo Everyone,

I seem to be having a problem getting my mozilla firefox to reinstall after I upgraded my Xp home edition pc to the SP2 everything else is working great apart from Installing the mozilla again, I do have my firewall on so would that prevent it?

I only removed my mozilla firefox thru my add/remove programs and then went for redownloading it but this time it will download and install but then when I open it up it freezes up on my pc and I have to then hit control alt and delete to get it to close which by the way takes several attempts to do so?

Can someone please advise me what I might be doing it wrong, I didnt remove the other downloades anywhere else on the pc except thru my add/remove programs is it possiable that there are more versions of the Mozilla Fire fox on my PC that I didnt look into that could be stopping me from getting the Mozilla Fire fox to install and run again please?
thanks to all in advance that might be able to give me some much needed help with this issue

I'm still (happily) using 1.0.7.

When 1.5 was first released I had so many problems with my favorite Extensions not being updated as well as my favorite Theme (Silver Skin) that I got so frustrated with the time I was spending trying to get 1.5 to work that I went back to 1.0.7 (already had an .xpi list of all my Extensions (qty: 30) and was able to use the Mass Installer extension to quickly reinstall them).

I realize that many Extensions are 1.5 compatible now and also the Silver Skin Theme has been updated but, darn it, I don't want to have to spend more time trying to get 1.5 to work if there is a problem.

If only a user could have BOTH 1.0.7 and 1.5 on the same computer but I know that's not possible.

And now there are already updates to 1.5 (Firefox 1.5.0.1 Released).

Well all updates on my desktop are doing fine. It's just the portable usb one was confused when it tried to update.

Also, i use very few extensions.

I have 1.0.7 on my Windows ME and it's working fine. I have 1.5 on my Windows XP and after reading through the MozillaZine Forums about the 1.5.O.1 update problems, I'm not going to update.

Haven't really experienced any problems with any firefox update. 1.5 was the biggest with extension issues, but within one week all were updated, and some worked on first day after a quick version tweak.
