Just get a new PC and install from scratch. I am SO impressed with this new
laptop I got Friday. Huge difference! Granted the jump to Win 7 from XP
will take some getting used to. And that pmr regarding why my ws.bch won't
start multiple sessions...


Old laptop:
XP
Think Pad T60
Lenovo Intel(R) Core 2CPU
T7200@2.00GHz
3.00 GB of RAM
35.4GB free of 70.0 GB

New laptop:
Win 7
ThinkPad W520
Intel Core i7-2720QM cpu @ 2.20GHz
16.0GB of RAM
64bit
389GB free of 448GB disk

Don't miss the time that it took to drink a cup and read the paper it took
to reboot the old one.
Going to have to get a new carrying bag - the new one's too big.

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.

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?

LONG time and have never seen what you are experiencing. Might try
posting to their help/support forums?

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.
