Hi,

I have just received the following message: "You have chose to open ff-update.exe .... from: *. Would you like to save this file."

I've never seen this message before and can't find any references to either the exe file or the http address. Is this file and/or http address safe?

Regards,

Ian

I just installed the new Firefox 4.0 beta 5. I was using Firefox 3.6.9 previously.

In Firefox 4 beta, I cannot find the menu item for changing the location of the cache. Has this feature been deleted, or simply moved to some other menu?

Specifically, I need to switch the cache location from the default C:\Users\{username}\ ..... to a different drive. This is something people commonly do if they want to minimize fragmentation on their system disk.

How can I specify a different location for the cache?

When I click the 'return to home page' button, only 'http://' shows in the address bar (the rest was accidentally deleted) and an 'Invalid address' alert shows. I've tried entering the address that shows when the mouse hovers over the button and then it works of course. When I use the button again, I get the same alert and a new 'http://' tab appears.

As there is no 'About' panel in Firefox 4, I am unable to tell the current release level. How can I do this?

I cannot provide Troubleshooting Information, the Help option under the Firefox button takes me directly to: http://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Firefox+Help?style_mode=inproduct

I've already imported most of my bookmarks, but it's been a while since then, and I'd like to add those I've acquired since. However, I'm worried it will simply double the ones I already have, as well as adding the newer ones. Will FF know not to add more of the same ones, or will they all just be piled on?

On the left is FF 4b5, with slightly blurry text on Lifehacker. On the right is Chrome 6.0.472.59 beta, without the blurry text.

I should note that the blurry text was not an issue in FF 4b4 or earlier.

I have also upgraded just now to 4b6, and the same issue is present.

This issue only happens when inputting text in a form on website (not in the address bar). The cursor randomly jumps a letter to the left, thus making input rather impossible.

I have a T-Mobile G2 phone. When I use the hardware keyboard to type in textboxes, about half the characters appear before the previous character rather than after. If I use a virtual (screen) keyboard, typing is fine.
