When I try to apply the update a screen pops up which continuously scrolls "connecting to server"; it never gets out. (Firefox Yahoo 1.8)
I clicked on Help about Firefox. It immediately displays Firefox Yahoo edition 1.8 and begins downloading a 2.8mb file and then displays an update button. When you click on the update button another window opens up which says "we strongly recommend applying the update as soon as possible" It displays a "back", "next" and "cancel" button. When I click on the "next" button it begins displaying "connecting to server" with bars scrolling across the screen. The problem is that it just sits there doing the scrolling and never finishes anything.
