I had Firefox3.0.1 portable (the latest version available from Portable Apps.), but an incremental update of 2.0 MB updated it to 3.0.2, on the hard drive. 3.0.1 was not listed in the Add/Remove, but 3.0.2 is.
Things were not so smooth on the flash drive, where it quit the incremental about halfway, requiring the complete update to finish. I am using 3.0.2 from the flash drive, right now.

I had to do some cleaning up, after the Firefox Portable update came out. Note the paragraph, which I had missed, below:
We also wanted to remind everyone not to use the built in auto-updater with Mozilla Firefox, Portable Edition due to an unfixed bug in the updater itself. As with all software in PortableApps.com Format, you can do an in-place upgrade (install the new version right over the old one) and all your data will be preserved

I deleted the Add?Remove entry, and everything works well, on my hard drive, and on the flash drive.

Hi:
Mozilla FireFox ver. 3.0.2 can be downloaded at:
http://en-us.www.mozilla.com/en-US/fire ... easenotes/

A great browser which continues to be a part of the great list of Netscape/Mozilla products.

Mozilla for those who do not know has a great built-in html editor. As far as I am concerned it is just as great as any I have used, possibly has even better layout than some of those which cost some dollars out there.

As stated in previous posts by me, I use mozilla with it's editor for my dlundmark on Ebay pages.

Apparently there is a v.3.0.3, but there have been reports of problems. Any comments?
