Update failed. The Update could not be installed (patch apply failed). It appears to want to upgrade from 7.0.1 to 8. But when I click the link, it does not offer updates, just an entire strip/reinstall! Where is the updates page? Help?

Thank you. I don't want to reload the entire thing - yes, it can be entirely reloaded, but I don't want to lose settings. How do I upload the PATCH as offered?

Installing a new version of Firefox will not remove your settings. They are stored in a profile in a different location.
