I have Firefox 2.0.0.16 and I would like to upgrade to Firefox 3.0 but when I hit check for updates, it says I am already updated. I wonder if I can get the newer version, or is it just so many allowed at a time to download this version 3?

Hello kelkay,

You can download the latest firefox from http://www.mozilla-europe.org/en/firefox/

You can uninstall the old one and get the new one but that would mess up your favorites and stuff.

The bookmarks from FF2 can be exported to a saved file and imported into FF3. This can be done through the "Organize Bookmarks".

Actually, the bookmarks and personal preferences are stored in a separate profile file. You can therefore use add/delete in the control panel to delete the older version and the profile remains to populate Firefox3 when you install it. You can, however, export bookmarks as a precaution.

Thanks I have the Firefox 3 now installed, and love it. It kept my previous bookmarks with no problems at all. So far I love it. I like the look, and it is hopefully even more secure of a browser. This is one heck of a browser, and easier to use to me than IE.
