Firefox Upgrade Problem

I just upgraded my Firefox from 1.0.4 to 1.0.6 and got some very weird behaviour for a while, so I thought I'd share the fix in case anyone else sees it and is as baffled as I was.

 

After upgrading software, I always check the upgrade version number with Help | About... Instead of the expected 1.0.6, I got an XML parsing error report. Same with Tools | Extensions. Same with Help | Help Contents...

 

"Oh dear" I think. But then it becomes apparent that I had a Firefox window open on another desktop. Shut this down, try again, everything is OK.

 

So, when they say "make sure you have shut down all Firefox windows" during the install process, it looks like they mean it.
