Why do I have to quit my browsers for Adobe Updator?
Why do I have to quit Firefox to update Photoshop? (or any other browser or CS3 app.) What in the world does Firefox have to do with Adobe? I mean, seriously, do you guys use your own products? Doesn't this annoy you? It drives me up the wall, and I can't fathom why it's necessary.

Inappropriate?That's a good question, although I don't seem to have this problem. I'm on a Mac and I use Safari, and it doesn't ask me to quit Safari when updating for CS2. I wonder if Firefox somehow uses the same resource that the update app might be using? Are you on a Mac or Windows machine?

Inappropriate?It doesn't happen with CS2. It's new with CS3.
-
Inappropriate?Ah, I see. Well, then, this might require some digging to figure out.
-
Inappropriate?Yeah, it's new in CS3. I'm on a Mac, fwiw. No idea if if happens on Windows too or not.
Part-way through the upgrade, the Adobe Updater app stops and requires me to quit any open browser. -
Inappropriate?I just noticed that John Nack, principal product manager for Photoshop, posted some info yesterday on his blog about this question. See here: http://blogs.adobe.com/jnack/2008/08/....
