Firefox 2.0.0.2 & 2.0.0.3 niggly problem
I just upgraded both my desktop and my laptop to FF v2.0.0.2 a couple days ago. Both began doing the same annoying thing. When I click a URL shortcut on my desktop or a link in my newsreader, an error box pops up saying "File http://blahblahblah or one of its components not found. Make sure the path and filename are correct." Then FF goes ahead and loads the page. This doesn't happen if FF is already running. If it's not running, it happens every time. I just downloaded 2.0.0.3. Same story. Any clues? -- Dale Beckett

"IEXPLO~1.BAK not found". I have no idea what that's about. However, when I went back to FF, it worked without a hitch. Thanks Dennis. -- Dale Beckett

I did the first upgrade from the "Help | Check for Updates" menu, which apparently only downloads some core file(s). I wiped the whole thing from my drive, including my profile, and used the 5.7 MB installer to put 2.0.0.3 back on. It seems to be happy now. I know I am. :) -- Dale Beckett

I know I am. :) That troubleshooting step is pretty much guaranteed to work. ;-) It's too bad you had to go that far but good that it's fixed now.

firefox 2.0.0.1 and 2.0.0.2 download window problem
I am having a problem with the download options in the browser. Hope I can explain this correctly so it makes sense. I went to "options" "download" and tried changing it there for various settings with no change. Problem just started with 2.0.01 and unfortunately the browser updated to 2.0.0.2 before I could stop it but problems still there. My other computer works fine with both versions so I think something got corrupted but don't know what or how to fix it. I don't want to uninstall FF and reinstall it and lose all my bookmarks.
