    Firefox Update


    Hi Folks,
    Late last night, FF on my laptop was updated from 8.0 to 8.0.1, when I tried to do the same on my desktop, it said no updates were available for 8.0 and was up to date.

    A quote from MozillaZine:

    "Only Mac users will get idle/manual update from 8.0 to 8.0.1 for a java fix while Win32/Linux Firefox 8.0 users will not get any updates (need to download full build if they really want it) while 4.0 to 7.0.1 users on Mac/Win32/Linux should get a update prompt to 8.0.1. The Linux users (Fx 8.0) do not need 8.0.1 and the 8.0.1 is a option for Windows users who use Roboform and do not or cannot update Roboform as otherwise there is no need for 8.0.1 for them also."

    My laptop's update for FF was done automatically. See my pc specs in my Signature.
