Palemoon updating not working

Unread post by Snapafun » 2011-12-21, 08:35

Basically, I get the prompt to update to the next version of Palemoon ( tonight it was version 8 ) and go OK with that, it downloads reckons it installs and will complete upon Palemoon restart.

I select to restart now and when palemoon comes back up I check the version number only to find that it has not updated.

Waste of bandwidth - waste of time - so I must be missing something.

Any ideas anyone?

So you're still on v7.x of Pale Moon?

Without any given error messages to work on it's probably best to download the latest version and do a full upgrade http://www.palemoon.org/download-ng.shtml

You might want to read through the Mozillazine page http://kb.mozillazine.org/Software_Update on the software update feature to see if there's anything there that may be applicable to your problem.

One advice I can give is that you clean-uninstall the old version and install the new version. It only takes a few minutes, they can add up with add-ons though. Every 6 weeks doesn't hurt, or it can, I am not you in this matter. It's only a suggestion.
