I have "chosen to open Firefox Setup 5.0.1.exe" and saved the file but nothing happens, my version has not updated, I don't know what the next step should be and I'd be grateful for help with this issue.

I've tried to do this several times on several days, on an HP a1620n running Windows XP Media Edition, Version 5.1. Nothing happens after I get the Download Complete message. Thanks.

In your current edition, click Tools, go to Add-Ons, then Extensions and remove "Ask Toolbar".

Close and then restart Firefox and go to Help | Check For Updates. The update should start automatically.

Thank you! My solution was slightly different, but in the end, seeing what was going on in the Help menu in the browser did the trick. Turned out I had been stuck for who knows how long "downloading" a version 3! Also had a toolbar to disable but not the Ask.
