I have been running 3.xx for awhile, sept 23 you forced a download which then stated I needed to restart, when I did, Black screen with the message that config sys was missing or corrupted. Had to dig out the boot cd, and then restore to an earlier date.  Restarting computer OK. Well, you just forced another download of 3.0.2, on sep 26, and guess what, when I restart the computer, config sys is missing or corrupt again. Back to the boot cd and restore. HELP!!!

The statement about restarting is only the Firefox application, not your whole windows operating system.
Firefox 3.0.3 is now out, try this version update without rebooting your computer please.
