Hmm, I get an error when checking for updates: AUS: Connection timed out

Which is followed by instructions to go to the website and update manually. ^_^

The auto update worked perfectly right up to the point where I now get (Try Again…” when clicking for certain sites and now when going to the AOL site..I get..”server trying to redirect..and it just hangs..” Tried uninstalling..reinstalling…no luck…yeah great update for the average joe….NOT.

Partial update failed on two different machines. Had to download the full update each time. I did use the check for updates feature though, and appreciated not having to Next > Next > Next through any wizards.

How about some putting some detection code on the site to see if you’re running FF, and adding a “please use the update feature” note?

The auto-update worked for me just great. Unfortunately when the dialog appeared I just clicked “OK” without thinking too hard, and immediately lost the contents of the Wiki page I’d been editing for the past half hour. Now can anyone help me recover the last copy from the cache? I’ve found out about about:cache-entry and I reckon I know which key points to my data, but how to actually view the cache data instead of cache info and request headers from it?

The auto-update worked fine for me, and I want to say I’m very happy about it, it was annoying to have to go to the Moz website and download the new version each time… If only all the sofware had this option

The auto-update didn’t happen for me, nor the check for updates.

Build ID is 2005111116. Perhaps I ought to file a bug.

In my experience, the update is not turned on until a while after the release… Fortunately with 1.5.0.1 that is not the case

That doesn’t help always, at least for people like me running strange OSes (not the official trio) – OpenSUSE/PPC, FreeBSD/x86.

The moment there’s an announcement, I download the source and compile it
