Why does update to Firefox 3.6.3 not uninstall 3.6.2?

Manually used Help | Check for Updates, and "Software Updates" window to download and install Firefox 3.6.3 over 3.6.2.
After 3.6.3 was installed, Windows XP "Add or Remove Programs" window lists both "Mozilla Firefox (3.6.2)" and "Mozilla Firefox (3.6.3)" as being installed.
Why didn't the installer for 3.6.3 uninstall 3.6.2?
Can 3.6.2 be uninstalled manually now, after installation of 3.6.3, or does 3.6.2 need to remain because some of its components are used by 3.6.3?
Should 3.6.2 have been uninstalled, and then use "Firefox Setup 3.6.3.exe" to install 3.6.3?
Thank you.

Thank you for your reply.
You were correct. The entry for 3.6.2 in "Add or Remove Programs" was left behind by 3.6.3's installer.
Revo Uninstaller 1.88 showed only "3.6.2" installed, not both it and 3.6.3 as in the "Add or Remove Programs" window.
Using "Add or Remove Programs" to uninstall "3.6.2" removed 3.6.3 and the "3.6.2" entry, but still listed 3.6.3 as being installed after it was actually uninstalled.
Removing the erroneous 3.6.3 entry in "Add or Remove Programs" and doing a full installation using "Firefox Setup 3.6.3.exe" cleaned everything up.

  • Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?

    Why does the Download Firefox doesn't offer me a language choice iso immediately deciding I have to like downloading it in e.g. Dutch because I'm e.g. in Brussels-a cosmopolitan city?
    When going to firefox.com and clicking the download button, immediately I get directed to the dutch / Nederlands version of the site and I only get the choice to download Firefox Dutch/Nederlands.
    I want the English version. Wouldn't it be better to ALSO have an option to select the language, wherever the software detects you're getting your internet connexion from?

    As people posted, You can select whatever language you want instead at the [http://www.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/all.html Systems & Languages] link below the download button.

  • Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    Why does my 3rd generation 8gb ipod touch not pick up on ios 5 update?

    I know you are not apple though I believe I still have apoint. As you can see the release date for these two iPod touches is differentby about a year. My iPod was sold as an apple iPod touch 8 GB third generation,and as I can see from this page and many others have experienced this. I wouldcomplain to apple though there seems to be no actual way to do this withouthaving to fork out for additional support, which is unacceptable also my iPodwas bought form a reliable UK retailer. It is not just the seller who names itas a 3rd generation I have also included a print screen of a trade in offerfrom a large phone shop site:

    I got that message with all of my libraries. Do see if the galleries are still on your iDisk mount your iDisk and go to the iDisk/Web/Sites folder and look for a folder titled "_gallery". Inside of it should be folders for each of your galleries. The folders are titled with 6 digit numbers which makes it difficult to know which folder is for which gallery.
    Thanks. "_gallery" is empty
    Have you tried re-syncing as Larry suggested?
    I'm sure it will work, but I'm perplexed as to how this could happen.
    Do you find that iPhoto now launches faster? Perhaps it's because my web galleries are gone?

    As long as the film has been fully downloaded (or synced from your computer's iTunes) then you should be able to watch it in the iPad's Videos app without needing to be online - is that how you are trying to view it ?

  • Why does goolgeearth work with Safari & Chrome but not Firefox

    When in firefox using Google maps and click on "EARTH" I receive a window indicating that to use 3D I need to install 21.0 Google Earth Plug-in with a "Download" option to click on. Note: Firefox 21.0 and MAC OS 10.7.5 have all current software updates installed. Safari & Chrome do not request for any plug-ins and 3D Earth option works fine. ANY HELP?
    PS. my MAC does have an Intel HD Graphics 3000 installed but my MAC, Safari & Chrome work fine.

    JKELLETT, That initially happen to me also. When you go to dolinsky296's suggested website https://www.google.com/earth/explore/products/plugin.html I saw "Download plug-in" box in the middle of the globe. When I click it the download executed but the plug-in never got installed. Then I clicked on "Download Google Earth" in the ''upper right corner'' of the website and life was good. Google Earth now works in Firefox.
