I just received an automatic update to 1.5.0.8.. could this be the start of the rumored step-up patch??

Call me crazy, but my update won't install. Keeps failing and then prompting me to install the full update instead. I'm going to try all over again and document the errors better. I'll update in a bit.
It's doing the same thing to me.
Oops! Swore I updated this... unmounted my drive, rebooted, remounted and tried again and the smaller update worked. No reinstall necessary. *shrug* Just a fluke maybe?
Only prob I had with the update was at home and at work the first day it was out it would hang on trying to download the update. I finally got it through yesterday and worked fine for me first try.

Portable firefox updated to 1.5.0.8 but does not restart after this. I get only the splash screen and nothing else.
Any clue how to fully install the upgrade or go back to 1.5.0.7 without loosing my personal info?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Install 1.5.0.7 over the top of your current install. All data will be preserved.
Or try starting it in safe mode as-is to find out what's up. Just enter FirefoxPortable.exe -safe-mode on the command line.

I re-installed 1.5.0.7 and copied the profile directory to the new install path (Still had the old directory structure "PortableFirefox" instead of "Firefoxportable").
Any other directories than the "profile" one to copy?
Thanks in advance
If you have any plugins in FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\plugins or search plugins in FirefoxPortable\App\firefox\searchplugins. That should be it, though.

I had none of these so my life's perfect again!
Thanks so much for your support!
Is there any way to get the update to work, or are we stuck with 1.5.0.7 until a new release of FFP?
I just got it too.

I'm glad to hear that I'm not the ONLY one not getting 1.5.0.8 to update. I keep getting the pop-up asking to update and then I think --I'm sure that I just did that yesterday.
I'm too young for my memory to be failing yet. Let us know if anyone figures it out!

Before with my FFP I tried it and faild. Then I downloaded a new FFP, freash, and it worked!
