Firefox 8 was publicly released on the morning of 11-08-2011. Updates to Firefox 8 have been temporarily suspended due to an investigation of high crash volumes being reported with Firefox 8. The crashes appear to be Add-on related, but until a determination is made, there will be no further updates to Firefox 8.

Thank you. "solved it!" (can't find a button to click that says that). So now I know I can't update for a while, and I can wait.

For future though -- is there a particular URL I can follow to update, without going through pages of stuff looking for it (call me a dummy), because those pop-ups seem to always hit me when I'm in the middle of all sorts of stuff and I can't update right then, and as I said, you can't "block/copy" the link.

Thanks for your help! Great weekend everyone! Nupela.

How to update:

• click (in Firefox) Help > About Firefox > Check for Updates
  • this downloads/installs the incremental update so that you do not need to download the full, larger installer in the link below and is fully automatic
• Download, SAVE to desktop, close Firefox, then click file downloaded to install/update:
  • Current version: https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html
  • Supported prior version (currently 3.6.24; to end soon): https://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all-older.html

See: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Installing+Firefox

Much appreciate your prompt reply. I've saved that information now, so it shouldn't be a problem in future. :-) Have a great week! Nupela
