Firefox Software Update Failure
October 21st, 2007 | Posted by: LucOur favorite browser, Firefox, has just released its latest version, 2.0.0.8. Whenever an update notice pops up, I’m almost hesitant to do so. Because everytime I try to update, I get the following error:
Software Update Failed
One or more files could not be updated. Please make sure all other applications are closed and that you have permission to modify files, and then restart Firefox to try again.
I thought it was some bug or virus. And I end up uninstalling and reinstalling Firefox manually. If this ever happened to you, let me guess..you use YZDock.
YZdock is a little program that imitates Mac OS X dock for Windows. If you have Firefox icon on your dock, close YZDock and restart Firefox and you should be able to complete the update installation. Then start your YZDock again and keep loving Firefox!
