Can't update from 11b5 to 12 under OS X 10.5.8

Hello!

I'm currently running Firefox 11.0 beta 5 under OS X 10.5.8. Every now and then I'll get a pop up telling me that version 12.0 is available. When I click the download button, I get a barberpole and a "Connecting to server" message and then...nothing. The process hangs until I give up and dismiss the window. Clicking the hide button doesn't hide the window either. I'm pretty sure there's connectivity. Everything works normally after I dismiss the window.

Thanks for your help.

Regards,

Bill

Ok, found it! Installed with no problems. Dunno if the original download problem will pop up again under 12.0b1 but we'll see.

Thanks for your help!
