How to Update to Firefox 3.7

Update Firefox to the latest version.

Mozilla Firefox is now in its fourth revision, offering improved speed, new features and a streamlined interface. There's really no reason not to upgrade, with the notable exceptions of a necessary and unupdated Firefox extension or a computer that just can't handle the heavier memory requirements. There are two basic ways to update a Firefox installation: through the built-in Help menu or with a manual download. Both will require an active Internet connection.

Instructions

Integrated Upgrade Process

1. Click the Firefox logo on your computer desktop, taskbar or "Start" menu.

2. Click "Help," then "About Firefox." Wait for Firefox to check the update server. The update will begin downloading automatically.

3. Click "Apply Update." Firefox will install the new version and restart automatically.

Manual Upgrade

1. Click the Firefox logo on your computer desktop, taskbar or "Start" menu.

2. Navigate to the Firefox download page. See the Resources section of this page for the link.

3. Save the installer file to the computer desktop. Wait for the download to finish.

4. Double-click the installer file on the desktop. Click "Next," then "Next," then select where you'd like shortcuts installed. Click "Next," then "Install."
