Can't Update to Latest (stable?)

Post by Anonymous Joe »

I'm using the add-ons window to try and update from 2.0.3.2 to 2.0.3.3 and I get:
Firefox could not install the file at

http://releases.mozilla.org/pub/mozilla ... +sm+fn.xpi

because: Invalid file hash (possible download corruption)
-261
I've gotten other updates before.

That worked, thanks. So the one on AMO is corrupt or was it just me?

Unfortunately there's always an (usually short) period of time after a new version of an add-on is published at AMO when its security hash and the file itself don't match, because of mirror synchronization and page caching delays.
Here's one of the many bug reports about variants of this problem, which I just reopened.

The time previous to this, the problem persisted for days. This time I didn't bother and used your link.
