Auto Updates

If there is an update to Firefox, or any of your installed "themes" or "extensions", Firefox puts a small "update" icon on your browser.



To update, simply click on the icon, and the updates will be downloaded and installed. To activate the updates, you'll have to shut down and restart Firefox for them to take effect.

To update Firefox completely, it's suggested to uninstall the "old" version and then install the newer version. This will ensure updates are installed correctly. This update procedure my be changed in future versions of Firefox.

The update icon is a different color depending on the update needed. Red if it is Firefox that needs the update. Blue if one the extensions needs an update. At least that is what it used to be. It all depends on the theme that is installed.

Thanks for sharing that info. Didn't pay much attention to the color myself, but I think I now recall seeing both red and blue at various times.
