Things to know when downloading Firefox 2 on Windows Vista
Points to be kept in mind while downloading Firefox 2 on Windows Vista:
Mozilla Firefox is all set to support the Windows Vista. So lets check out few points regarding the compatibility of Mozilla Firefox and Windows Vista.
- If the browser is installed in a non-default location, software updates may fail. You can reinstall the software to the default location, or to a non-default location as long as the install folder is named "Mozilla Firefox". Alternatively, you can start Firefox by right-clicking on its icon and selecting "Run as administrator" from the menu.
- When you launch the browser after it has downloaded a software update, you may get a dialog asking to permit "updater.exe" to run. If you do not allow this operation, the software update will fail.
- Firefox can not yet be set as the default browser on Vista
- When installing as a restricted-access user on a shared machine into a location that you can write to, there may still be negative side effects (default browser/other keys not being set correctly). When installing as a restricted access user do not attempt to install over an existing installation in a restricted-access/shared location as this may destroy that installation.
- Firefox may hang when closing after viewing a PDF file in some older versions of the Adobe Acrobat Reader plug in
- The Update directory on Windows Vista is located under the user's directory, in AppData\Roaming\Mozilla\Firefox\Updates\.
