Not sure I understand what you mean by "work practices".
Firefox manages the downloads; I don't. All my downloads go into one folder, and I rarely rename the files prior to downloading. I let Windows and Firefox manage that.

And I still have the installers, and my download history. You're free to examine both.

Downloaded the installer from 2 different locations. I even POINTED OUT in the OP that the hash didn't match the md5 signature reported on Fosshub.

You make it sound like I'm slinging accusations.

I had an issue, and asked if anyone else was experiencing this.

There wasn't anyone else who responded who did.

FWIW the installer I downloaded for 1.38 matches the hash signature on Fosshub.

If you have some other suggestion, or want more information to aid you in unraveling the mystery I'll be happy to provide it.

Or if you know what the md5 or SHA1 hashes are supposed to report for the 1.36 installer I'd be happy to check the "1.37" installer I have against that.

For me, the issue is dead. I upgraded to the latest version (FWIW I still can't install 1.37).

If you have some explanation as to why the 1.37 installer I thought I downloaded turned out to be the 1.36 installer for me, and not the other 300,000 estimated users I'll be happy to hear it, and thrash it around.

Maybe I have some sort of weird cache enabled on my system (I'm relatively sure I don't but I don't know everything) that refused to realize that 1.37 was a new installer so every time I ran the 1.37 installer it ran the 1.36 installer from the mystery cache I don't know about (and for the record I deleted all of my system restore points prior to the "1.37" install) just in case this unlikely scenario was in any way realistically probable.

But the insinuation that I have some nebulous "work practices" I need to address is hardly helpful.
