if you want to install Windows updates from within Firefox, but IE Tab does not work, there is another solution. Windizupdate... very simple and it works...go to their website and follow the instructions... i tried it on a friends laptop that IE Tab wouldn't work on and not only did it work, it was much much faster at getting the updates than going through Mircosofts website

Sometimes Microsoft Update can be a little slow.
I've seen this available for download on a few sites but never really bothered looking into it....now I'll definitely have to look into it.
