Have you got a firewall that you need to tell to let the new firefox v1.02 out
onto the internet?

"What do I do ??"
Sorry but this is not the right place to ask support questions. You can use the
mozillazine.org Forums for that.

This looks like a firewall problem
-> invalid

It was not a bug... but a firewall problem, as Matti and Steve have pointed out. 
The new Norton firewall blocked the updated Firefox mechanically and was fixed.
Thanks (sorry to have used the unappropriate place to report/ask).
