Just thought I'd let everyone know, has a few buffer-overflow vulnerabilities resolved, among other security fixes. Stay safe, stay firefox.

I can't stand how you've GOT to update to search for themes/extensions, but you can use IE to access teh page and manually DL them :/

Could you explain your issue again, because I don't understand it.

I think he means that in Firefox, he has to use the Update Manager that is in the Options Control Panel. If he however uses Internet Explorer, he can manually download them, and place them in his profile folder, correct?

Well, I can reach update.mozilla.org just by typing it into the URL bar (of course, I'm on the nightly builds, but it should be the same). Also, there's the unofficial The Extensions Mirror - "Completing your XPI'rience", where even more extensions can be found. And, just about every extention developer has their own webpage, where you can download or install the extension or theme.

So, I'm still not sure what MikeSty's issue is. I'd love to help him out if I can.
