Re: Firefox reverts to older version

Arrghh! It's Monday morning and Firefox is back to V3.6.26. It wants me
to update to V3.6.27. Duh, I was at V10.x when I went home Friday. The
3.6.26 version says "en-GB" which I assume is British English and the
3.6.27 version it's recommending is "en-US" which I assume if American
English.

I had completely uninstalled FF, renamed the folder where it was installed,
and installed from scratch. I guess I'll have to visit their forums and
see if there's a tool to remove all registry entries as well.

Another weird thing. I don't leave a lot of icons on my desktop, mostly I
put icons into one of two folders on my desktop: Daily and Non-Daily
(there are exceptions, but in general that's what I do). Each time FF has
reverted back to an old version, the FF icon _and_ the FileZilla Client
icon are back on my desktop. I don't know why that didn't register in my
brain any sooner. The names Mozilla and FileZilla are close enough to be
creepy to me.

UPDATE

There were 7 Windows updates applied this morning and I just rebooted.

Firefox now says it's v3.6.26. I'm scanning for multiple firefox.exe
files as we 'speak'.

Assuming there's only one found, I think I'll uninstall/reinstall Firefox
from scratch. I already exported my bookmarks so I can get them back.

I'm with the others that haven't had issues though I no longer deal with

Jeff - With early release, IIRC you could install FF to different
directories/it would install new versions to different directories. Is it
possible you have both 3.x and 10.x installed but your shortcuts are
getting messed up? How about scanning your PC for firefox.exe to see if
there is more than one?

The PC I am on now is XP and Firefox was at 10.0.1 until a little while
ago and an alert that 10.0.3 is ready to install. I've used FF for a
LONG time and have never seen what you are experiencing. Might try
posting to their help/support forums?

Subject: [PCTECH] Firefox reverts to older version

All,

When I came in this morning, Firefox had gone back to version 3.xx from
version 10.0.2. This is the 3rd time in 3 weeks this has happened.
Googling 'firefox goes back to older version' or 'firefox reverts to
older
version' doesn't come up with anything to do with this issue. All I get
are users asking how to go back to an earlier version.

Is this happening to anyone else? Win XP.

Thanks.
