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."
