Firefox update

[John Levin]

Hi All,

Mozilla have just released a security update for Firefox:
http://www.mozilla.org/press/mozilla-2004-10-01-02.html

I've tried updating through firefox itself, and got the error message:
"Firefox encountered problems when updating your software, and as a 
result not all components could be updated."
Details:
"data: Downloading fix (Read only)"

I'm not clear on the procedure for updating firefox - is it possible to 
do so through the browser itself, or should I wait for synaptic to do 
it's stuff? (Just checked synaptic, and the firefox fix isn't in there 
right now.)

TIA

John
