I am probably too relaxed in the way I use technology. Got a few free minutes on a very busy day? Take a break and upgrade your browser. You think I would learn.<\/p>\n

Mozilla is trying to set some kind of record for downloads<\/a> with the new version of Firefox and this intent has made news. I follow the tech news. So, I thought I would join in.<\/p>\n

I download the browser. Simple enough. I click on the icon. Nothing. I restart. I repair privileges. I download and install again. Nothing. I reread the download page seeking clues. Nothing. I sulk. I search for earlier version to get back to square one. Everything takes me back to the page for downloading the newest version.<\/p>\n

I carefully review the support page<\/a>. There it is – FireFox 3 will only work with Mac OS 10.4. Clear enough. Here I also find the link to download Firefox 2.<\/p>\n

Just for the record.
\n1) Take a careful look at the Firefox download page. The download button clearly says 10.x – to my thinking this would include 10.3.9. Perhaps the reason the download count is so high is that folks like me are downloading multiple times in the hopes of receiving a working copy.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
\n2) I do run the most recent OS ON MY OWN machines. I work for the frugal University of North Dakota. I run what the university provides in my office – it is a matter of principle. You get what the university is willing to pay for.<\/p>\n

Back to work.<\/p>\n

Be careful out there.<\/p>\n
