BlackBerry Device Software Web Update Now Working with Firefox - Finally!!!!

I HATE IE, HATE IT!

Important Note: This page requires Firefox or Windows® Internet Explorer® v5.5 or later, running on Windows®.

I'm running Win7 64 bit, with Firefox, try to install the plugin and get an error: "This installation package could not be opened. Contact the application vendor to verify that this is a valid Windows Installer package."

Thanks alot! again mac users left out in the dark!!

cadsystems, Are you using a 64 bit version of Firefox? Try a 32 bit version; in the same way that Flash won't run in a 64 bit browser but will in a 32 bit one on a 64 bit OS, maybe the plugin only works in a 32 bit browser. Worth a try.

dont get it whats this update ????

I'm using 32bit Firefox on 64 bit Win7

I re-downloaded it my original download was 25.3mb second time around was 31.0 mb that one works much better.

when will google chrome be supported!

i thought i could finally update my device OS since im always using firefox but no, i can't. This thing requires firefox for windows, and i can't install desktop manager for mac since im running 10.4.
i really love my blackberry bold, but y is RIM making it so dficult for me to use it?

Does anyone know if this will work with Linux using WINE? If so, that would be wonderful; I wouldn't have to boot into M$ Windows to upgrade my BB. That really would be sweet.

What does this actually update? Is it just a different way to perform an update on your phone instead of using Desktop Manager or the Apploader in the software you are trying to install? What is the Blackberry Web Update software do? Thanks if anyone can shed some light on this for me.

@1967LS2: Yep, it is indeed just a different way to perform an update on your phone instead of using Desktop Manager or the Apploader. If you're not a BES user, it's pretty cool, as all it needs is your PIN and it looks up your carrier, compares your OS version (because your device is connected to your PC when you run it) with the most current version your carrier has available, and prompts you to proceed with installation if there is a more current version. (If you are on a BES, then for some reason it's a more manual process.)

Thanks for the info. That's what I thought it did but I was hoping it was some sort of browser update for Firefox to be used on the device :(

RIM comes out with a BB Desktop for mac.... doesn't support OS X 10.4.

Now, this and it's not for mac, L O L!

I need a PC.

Isn't this just a shortcut to a tool that does the exact same thing as the Desktop Manager app loader, that launches when you click a button on the web page? It's no different than just using the desktop manager, right? So what, it turns a 80 meg download into a 30 meg download?

BlackBerry is really fantastic..there's a lot of Firefox user out there waiting for this to come.. Thank you..

that my Blackberry Messenger will be deleted?
can someone help plz

Sorry, but I am running Firefox 3.6 and it still does not function with Firefox.

I'm afraid this is gonna be pretty useless for me and a medium sized percent of the CB.com population. The only time I've had a T-Mo stock OS on my phone in the last 3 years is in the 7 seconds it took to wipe my 8900 when I bought it. It will be good for some people I think.
