[X4U] Firefox 3.6.02

[Joe Tinney]

Charles,

It seems I skimmed right over that part and agree completely! Use the built-in method of upgrading in Firefox. I've never seen or heard of an option to receive email notifications for Firefox upgrades and I'd consider them suspect if I did.

When I read notification I assumed that the OP was talking about the in-Firefox popup.

Regards,
Joe

I don't recall ever getting an email notification of a Firefox upgrade. I'd be very leery of any links contained in that email as it sounds a bit phishy. I would update to the latest compatible version, but I'd do so by using the update feature within Firefox (which in 3.x is under the help menu IIRC) or by browsing to mozilla.com, not using any "Click here to upgrade" links in an email.
