Mozilla just released security and stability updates to versions of
Firefox. Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.2 and 1.5.0.10 have been released [1].
If you've got Firefox set to check for and install updates
automatically, you'll find it won't work properly due to a Vista-related
bug. It checks, downloads the update and notifies you to install, but
the installation will fail without notice [2].
I know of two ways around this:
1). Close Firefox. Right click on it's shortcut icon and select "run as
administrator". When you get Firefox up and running go to the help menu
and select "Check for updates". Follow the prompts from there. After
Firefox has closed and restarted close it again and re-start as a normal
user.
2). Do a full install of the latest version over the previous version [3]

A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
