Walk-Through Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 Automatic Update
Filed in: Mozilla — October 11th, 2005
Have you update to Firefox 1.5 Beta 2? I have updated to Beta 2 from Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 using the automatic update feature. Here is the process walk-through during my update.
- Click on "Help", then "Check for Updates...".
- Firefox 1.5 Beta 1 detected an update. Huh? Firefox 1.4.1?
- The automatic list down the Firefox extensions that may not work with the new version.
- Downloading new update... Only 1.1MB. Good!
- Download complete, restart Firefox. Yeah! Yeah!
- Wait. The update failed!? Need to download complete update!
- Downloading complete update... File size 8.4MB.
- Finally, update completed. Running Firefox 1.5 Beta 2 (version 1.4.1).
Thought
Too bad, the small size update failed me, I still need to download the full size update. Though the update stated that some Firefox extensions are not compatible, but all extensions are working after update completed. [tags]Firefox[/tags]

Oh boy, that was the coolest walkthrough ever!
On a sidenote, here’s a walkthrough, which I think is downright marvellous, on how to check email:
1. Start Outlook Express (or Mozilla Thunderbird, or any email client, or even web browser).

2. Click on Check Mail

3. Read your new mail.

I don’t mean to insult. But come on, do you think we need a ‘WALKTHROUGH’ (meaning someone has the potential to get stuck and need troubleshoot) for a simplistic stuff like that?
Anyone who’s using a computer now ought to hold at least the Bachelor of Mouse Clicking (otherwise it’s illegal to use a computer), which means we can do the click click stuff on our own.
