Re my Acer XP: How do I know if I've installed Firefox 4? I've gone through the motions three times and have not been told I was successful. When I look at "About Firefox" I'm told I still have version 3.6. What gives
That's pretty much it. If you need more information I'll need some guidance from you, such as specific questions. Thanks.

Please do the following.
- Go to Download Firefox 4.0.1 and download the installation file to your desktop.
- Then go to Add/Remove Programs, scroll down to "Mozilla Firefox" and remove it, choosing to keep your bookmarks, customizations etc., (don't checkmark the box).
- Then reboot and delete the folder called "Mozilla Firefox" at this location: C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox
- Finally run the installation file you downloaded to the desktop earlier.
Your bookmarks, customizations etc., are maintained in a different location and will become available to you again once you complete the installation.
After you complete the installation, please go to the Plugins Check page and update where necessary.
