This is the _2nd_ time Majorgeeks (<http://www.majorgeeks.com/>) has jumped the
(proverbial) gun in announcing Firefox 1.5.0.4. Also Filehippo
(<http://www.filehippo.com/>) seems to have been dragged-along by Majorgeeks.

*When*, I wonder (for the 2nd time, at minimum!), are these software sites
going to get the idea thru their figurative heads, that glory goes not to those
who announce first (see "Microsoft", also "vaporware"), but to those which
avail potential-downloaders of an *actual* file?

After all, this isn't war** they are concerned with.

<http://www.mozilla.com/products/download.html?product=firefox-1.5.0.3&os=win&lang=en-US>

I was sent back to <http://www.mozilla.org/>, with no current (1.5.0.4)

As for you (and your rather-apparent attitude), John Jay, perhaps your
long-time usage of Outlook Express has addled your brain.

Drat. Double-drat. So nice when a website shows updates before 3rd-party's get
ahold of them. Such, however, seems not to be standard-practice with
Mozilla/Forefox, anymore :-(

It's never been their practice to officially announce new releases
before the files have propagated. In the meantime, there's nothing
they can do to prevent websites (or kenny) from pointing to the
servers. I don't understand why this troubles you, but IMO you'd be
better off waiting for the official release. (At least once, files
have been pulled from the release directory before being officially
released.)

 

[John Jay Smith]

If they didnt want people to have access to them they should not have put
them on a server in the first place.

I personally did not use this link to update mozilla.. I prefer to wait
until the browser notifies me..

Its a choice to download or wait, I am just providing the choice and the
news.

Which is what I am doing, these days (had my fill of mostly betas, & a few
alphas).

The updates for both Firefox and Thunderbird are now available using the
update function within each application. I just ran the updates, and
both went very smoothly.

Why are you awaiting the 6.10 release as opposed to the 6.06?
