Firefox Preloader 2.0 Coming Soon
I am currently working on version 2.0 of the Firefox Preloader. Although I am a ways from it’s actual release, a beta version will be coming soon. You can visit it’s project page to find out more about it. It’s mostly to fix compability problems with newer versions of Firefox’s Software Updater utility, but the final release will finally include support for foriegn languages.

Hi, Matthew
I hope you can help me.
It starts with installation of firefox 3.0.8 and the Firefox Preloader 1.0/366.
When I Start my XP-Computer and the boot-operation is over I get a “emthy (blank) window in the top left of my screen”
I believe the problem is known. But what is it ?
When the Preloader is deinstalled, the empthy window don´t appear.
I can`t find a solution in the WEB !
