I'm running Windows XP Home SP3. When I check for updates, I'm offered FF 5, not FF7. If I DL and run FF 7.0.1, will I be given the option NOT to overwrite my existing FF 3.6.23? Thanks. Bender

Hi Bender1995-

You should be able to download the latest version of Firefox and install it directly. It should ask if you would like to replace your existing version with the new version.

Hope that helps
