InformAction Forums

I was notified that NS 2.6.1rc1 was available. "Find Updates" failed on both Fx 3.6.28 and Fx 16.0.2

The error message on F3 was:

Firefox could not install the file at

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

because: Download error
-228

The error message on F16 was:

There was an error downloading NoScript.

On both browsers, going directly to latest development build,
https://secure.informaction.com/downloa ... 6.1rc1.xpi
the update downloads and installs flawlessly.

Incidentally, shouldn't the build from AMO have come from an HTTPS site vs. the HTTP address quoted above?

This usually means that not all the Mozilla mirrors around the world aliased behind "releases.mozilla.org" are in sync yet.
For me the download is working OK ATM.

HTTP vs HTTPS: the actual files are served by mozilla through HTTP rather than HTTPS for performance reasons, but in this case it's safe because they serve a hash of the file securely (over HTTPS) to be compared with the actually downloaded file, and if the comparison fails so does the installation.
