Thanks mha007 for your prompt reply. Sadly, your suggestion does not work - at least for me. It is now 9.45pm in Adelaide South Australia and maybe my head is not functioning as it should. Perhaps I will just soldier on with the current version - it seems to work fine. I was just a little ambitious. Again thanks for your assistance. Regards Warren

Hi mha007

I am pleased to report that the uninstall and install passed off without a hitch. I have been away for several days and have just now returned home.

I now have current Firefox!

Thank you again for your very simple advice.

Best Wishes

Warren
