I started downloading firefox 3.6.3, and the loading bar showed a full download. then the update halted and did not install. Going back to the menu, it offers to continue the download and a download window opens but nothing happens. Windows Vista.

This happened

Not sure how often

Ooops, fearing some sort of corruption on the machine (laptop) which had the problem, I send the message from my other machine (desktop). Without thinking (senior moment here), I used the troubleshooting info from the desktop.

My apologies.
