Windows Update & Firefox

[clocker]

Update Windows with Firefox (http://windowsupdate.62nds.com/) ...no Genuine Advantage validation required.

Seems to work just fine, but YMMV.

Just tryed it works great , I had just reformatted last week so it found some updated drivers for my network card . :)

Crashes FF for me half way through downloading the updates :(

Will try again later when I've got nothing else running in the background

Me too but reinstalled and no problem ,close your browser before the install . :)

[zapjb]

Yeah I had to uninstall then reinstall. AOK now.

[lynx]

Works great.

There's been a network driver that hanging around for some time, but it would not install from IE. Just installed it fine with this. :thumbsup:

Nice find.

[peat moss]

The more I think of it ,this thread should be pinned ? All the trouble people seem to be having with winupdates and illegal keys . Worth a Firefox D/L anyway. :)

So there's no risk even with illegitimate copies?

[tesco]

It freezes for me after it has downloaded the updates. :(

Thanks anyway clocker, might try again later.

You fold AND hang jeans?
Is this a uniquely Canadian aberration or are you weird even compared to your countrymen?

[gsky]

if you guys are talking about the genuine windows validation check that can be disables in internet explorer also, just follow the instructions found here. (http://home19.inet.tele.dk/jys05000/)

Same here. Managed to fix my initial problems but it freezes or outright crashes when trying to install the updates.

Will be great when another version of the plugin is released though. :)

Ya hopefully.

Would be better if Microsoft would just make their windows update work with other browsers. :rolleyes:

Clarification:
It's not really my cat. I only posted a picture from Google search. ;)

And... No, I don't fold and hang my jeans.
