    I downloaded the update from the link on the mozilla.org webpage (which
    took me to getfirefox.com). I then found the archive was corrupt and
    would not install.

    At which point I got bored, uninstalled FireFox and returned to the IE6
    fold.

    Does it not occur to you that as FIREFOX HAS A LITTLE ICON and
    REDIRECTS YOU TO THE "We've got an update available" PAGE it's
    possible, just possible that ANYONE THAT USES FIREFOX WILL KNOW, AND
    ANYONE THAT DOESN'T WON'T CARE.

    I thought I'd spell it out nice and clear, in case you hadn't noticed,
    and needed it pointing out. I mean, it's glaringly obvious to me, but
    it might not be to you.

    Oh, and you should probably do a windows update, and update your virus
    checker. I'd check your email and breath in and out occasionally while
    you're at it. You never know - you might have forgotton, or didn't
    know or something.

    Opera did that to me the day before yesterday. 15 seconds later and I
    had the all new version 8 to get to know all over again.

    That'll be me that will.

    Bugger all. Clicking on it just takes you to the Mozilla homepage.

    It tells you? Mine hasn't. Is 8 a great deal better than 7.5?

    It turns into a little red icon. Click on it and a box pops up saying
    its looking for updates. It finds them then another box pops and says
    its downloading them. Except it doesn't ... not for me anyway. I
    went to the Mozilla site to get the download in the end.

    Define better. It is a little different in it's interface but works
    just the same as the old one.

    A little red arrow appears when there's a critical update available,
    see [1] for an example. If there's a none-critical update then you'll
    get a green one. There's also a blue one, but I can't remember what
    that indicates.

  11. Maybe it's indicating updates for extensions or themes?
    Which version? Go via Help -> About.

    It may not be an arrow as it depends on which theme/skin you use.
    Whatever it is, it should appear at the right-hand end of the menu bar,
    under the window minimise/maximise/close buttons.
