Update to Firefox 3.5.6!
There are issues fixed by updating to Firefox 3.5.6. It is very important at this time to keep Firefox up to date.
That goes for the Firefox application program itself, the extensions you have installed, and the plugins.
Unfortunately, Firefox lacks a built-in, automated way to check for out-of-date plugins and offer to update them for you.
However, there is at least a web page at the Mozilla web site that will do that for you. Using Firefox web browser, click the shiny bit of blog bling in the lower left corner of my weblog page here, so you can get that done.
That simply takes you to their web page. Their page does all the work. Just read it carefully. Make sure you bookmark their page, by the way. You will want to visit that web page regularly. I recommend doing it about once a week.
Updating Ad-ons in Firefox is easy. Just go to the Tools menu in Firefox, Choose Add-ons menu item, and click the Find Updates button at the bottom of the dialog box that appears. It will let you know if there are any updates that need to be applied and then display a Restart button if there are.
To update Firefox itself, you should go to its Help menu and choose the Check for Updates menu item.
If software developers at Mozilla update Firefox, but you never get those updates from them - then your computer just gets more and more at risk. Plus, you are not going to get improvements. The same goes for updating its third-party plugins and add-ons.
