i saw that my work laptop tried to update, but since I run with a limited user account with UAC on...my account doesn't have the necessary right to install software. So, i have to run it under my admin account first, and then do the update.

Thanks. My machines are updated. Plus, I had just posted at another site telling someone they needed to update FF and was able to go back & edit my post to the new release.

Hmm, the funny thing is, if I check for updates(running 3.6.8) it tells me there aren't any.
