what app/program do I use to upgrade to 46.0.1 as it comes as a .part file for win8.1
I cannot connect to WaterFox on line. An alert was just sent to install 46.0.1 but it wouldn't install and they sent me to a website where I manually downloaded the file but it's a .part file and won't open. Do I have to install firefox just to install waterfox newest vers.? I'm using win 8.1 64bit... how do I open the .part file? thanks
ps what's the web address for WaterFox....I tried waterfox.org and other combo's but no good. thanks

A .part file is the name of a file being downloaded. Once the download is finished, the .part is removed.
- 1 Download Firefox For All languages And Systems {web link}
- 2 Uninstall Firefox from your computer {web link}
DO NOT remove your profiles. - 3 After, reboot the computer. Then run the full installer.

While this may be a legitimate message, it could also be Malware or a Virus. Any time you want or need to check for upgrades, go to the website of the True Owner of the program in question. For example, to check out Firefox, go to https://www.mozilla.org {web link}
You can also report such a site at; Google Report Phishing Page {web link} which is the same when done while on site by going to Help > Report Web Forgery

Waterfox -- not a Mozilla product -- can be found here: https://www.waterfoxproject.org/
Maybe bookmark that for quicker future access.
you solved the easy part but how about the .part file portion? thanks
I never said I was using FireFox... I went to the link and downloaded the newer vers. of waterfox and all is well now with no problem....hopefully... thanks
Yes, for future reference, Waterfox has its own support site in case you need it.
