“I’m a reader of documentation, not so much a lurker on forums.
Unfortunately, when I went looking for enlightenment I found
nothing in ink-on-paper that offered me a prescription for
performing such an upgrade myself. To this day I don’t know exactly
what steps I took to do it, but I recall it involved downloading
directly from the Firefox site following their instructions, I
think some degree of unzipping and moving it about, and in short
order there stood a link to Shiretoko (Firefox-speak for 3.5) in
the Internet section of my Applications menu.

“Fortunately, it wasn’t until AFTER I finished the task that I
looked at the forum. Good thing – the hassles other people
had encountered trying to upgrade were blood-curdling, and would
surely have scared me away from trying. Sounded a lot like Mr.
Gralla’s problems.”
